It's not about "looking racist"; or at least, it's not about public opinion. A racially targeted measure would violate specific laws and would be challenged in court, likely successfully.

It could also be a signal that they intend to take on the world; so they could technically not be racist if "everyone else is a threat".

The Kavanaugh rule specifically permits it. If you’re taking odds that this Supreme Court will challenge the Kavanaugh rule, I’ll wager 1:1 against.

That was so years ago, this is the point we're at now.

SCOTUS: Nothing Trump does is illegal.

Trump: "does illegal things"

Courts: You can't do this, it is illegal.

Trump: "ignores courts"

Courts: "shocked pikachu face"

Not sure if you noticed, lower courts ruled against administration many times ... they were ignored.

And as a bonus upreme court practically ruled president can be lawless as he pleases.
