      True, but Trump's paranoid intentions aside, the order seems capable of standing on its own, and the Supreme Court may conclude that the original intentions don't matter in this case; especially since the original intention (ban all Muslims from entering the country) isn't close to being covered by the order.
      Certainly some eminent law people think that, including Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, although he’s highly critical of it. OTOH the courts blocking its implementation have made a strong argument for the success of their claims of religious discrimination, including explicit, direct statements of President Trump's animus toward Muslims in general and his intention to impose a ban on them entering the United States.
