I don't think if the administration is smart, they're going to take that to the Supreme Court because that will end this," he predicted. "I mean, I think they will los and right now they're doing pretty well on just the sort of fear factor and the terrorizing effect of the executive orders, even though they keep on getting struck down unanimously."
