The Trump administration on Tuesday formally asked the Supreme Court in an emergency appeal to block a nationwide ban on the administration's new asylum policy that was unilaterally instituted by a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals judge last month. In lengthy and fiery comments to reporters outside the White House just hours after Tigar's ruling, Trump excoriated the liberal-leaning Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals as a "disgrace." "You go to Ninth Circuit and it's a disgrace, and I'm going to put in a major complaint. Because you cannot win, if you're us, a case in the Ninth Circuit," Trump said. ... We get beaten, and then we end up having to go to the Supreme Court -- like the travel ban -- and we won.
