From WNYC in New York, this is on the media. I'm Bob Garfield. And I'm Brooke Gladstone. On Thursday evening,

the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the stay on President Trump's travel ban, as in no travel ban.

In response, the president tweeted in all caps, see you in court. The security of

our nation is at stake. Now the case will likely go to the high court. It's the next chapter in a

judicial page turner that opened last Friday when federal judge, or in Trump parlance, so-called

Judge James Robart, blocked the administration's

Muslim ban and enraged the president. He tweeted, what is our country coming to when a judge can

halt a homeland security travel ban, and anyone even with bad intentions can come into the U.S.

Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril

if something happens blame him and court system.

People pouring in.

Bad.

One could write all of this off as just another manifestation of his tweet reflex,

but members of the judiciary weren't having it,

including Supreme Court nominee

Neil Gorsuch, who shared his anxiety with Senator Richard Blumenthal.

He certainly expressed to me that he is disheartened by the demoralizing and abhorrent

comments made by President Trump about the judiciary.

It's rare for a Supreme Court nominee to speak disparagingly of his nominator, yet according

to Blumenthal, desperate times call for desperate language.

We're careening, literally, toward a constitutional crisis.
