There will be the inevitable lawsuits about this EO, some of which will be filed very quickly, but I fear that the courts are now so larded up with Trumpian right wing nuts and bad faith actors in the legal profession representing the government that nothing will be done until that bastard is driven from office.
And even if one were to assume that judges acted responsibly and properly ruled against Trump, by the time the cases got up to the United States Supreme Court, the justices in the majority will ensure that the clock runs out as well. It's what they did with the emoluments cases during Trump's first term, and it's what they're doing right now with the birthright citizenship EO.
I have been a lawyer for over 40 years, and the one thing I now know for certain is that the United States Supreme Court has ceased to be a legitimate governmental institution under John Roberts and his fellow Handmaid's Tale justices. The six in this majority committed perjury during their confirmation hearings when they expressed fidelity to the rule of law and stare decisis. They also stated under oath that "no man is above the law, not even the president."
That statement was, of course, a bald-faced lie, which makes them perjurers; nothing more than felons in black robes.
As long as Congress is ruled by spineless republican minions, Trump and his henchpeople will continue to issue these insane EOs. The mid-terms are coming but they seem a long way off.

Yup. Stalin would be proud
I've got another piece I've been working on about that specifically.
He is the Anti-President. I can’t think of anything he has done that wasn’t 180 degrees from the right thing to do.
