Unanimous verdict, too! It's not over, though.
The White House could take the issue to the Supreme Court, but the prospects for such an appeal are uncertain due in part to the high court being short a justice and split evenly between Democratic and Republican appointed justices.
The appeals court ruling is not a final one on the legality of Trump’s order. Litigation on that subject will go forward before the Seattle judge and in about 20 other legal challenges pending across the country.

The buck stops with whomever Trump decides to blame at any given moment, apparently: "
Don't look at me, I'm just the president!"
