On Tuesday morning, in a sign of the administration’s disorganization, the Justice Department sent an email to the four firms apologizing for the short notice and saying it was reversing course again. Its appeals would now continue. This withdrawal of the administration’s withdrawal is amateurish, and it does not change the likely outcome of the fight. Judges — appointed by presidents of both parties — have repeatedly ruled that the executive orders were illegal, and there is every reason to expect that to continue. The Trump administration’s initial withdrawal of its appeals is an indication that at least some officials understand this reality.
