However, the appeals court justices expressed doubt that Mr Trump's government would be successful if it launched another appeal.

In off-camera remarks to reporters at the White House, the President insisted he was confident that his administration would eventually win the case "very easily".

Anyone who enjoys watching Piers Morgan have a tough time, most of us I reckon, will enjoy the last 15 minutes of this weeks edition of " real time with bill maher ". Some aussie comedian really lays into him over his fondness of Donald Trump.
