And finally it happened to other Presidents as well. It happened to Obama as well: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/0...ecision-224728 He didn't go personally after the judge or even the court itself, other than saying they needed to have a full bench (there was a tie as the court is currently 8 rather than 9), but instead went after congress on immigration.
He may still do all that. Or he could go down Emergency Order to reinstate the Temporary suspension.
