“Moreover, I fear that the Court\u2019s remedy will prove unworkable. Today\u2019s compromise will burden executive officials with the task of deciding\u2014on peril of contempt\u2014 whether individuals from the six affected nations who wish to enter the United States have a sufficient connection to a person or entity in this country. See ante, at 11\u2013 12. The compromise also will invite a flood of litigation until this case is finally resolved on the merits, as parties and courts struggle to determine what exactly constitutes a \u201cbona fide relationship,\u201d who precisely has a \u201ccredible claim\u201d to that relationship, and whether the claimed relationship was formed \u201csimply to avoid \u00a72(c)\u201d of Executive Order No. 13780, ante, at 11, 12. And litigation of the factual and legal issues that are likely to arise will presumably be directed to the two District Courts whose initial orders in these cases this Court has now\u2014 unanimously\u2014found sufficiently questionable to be stayed as to the vast majority of the people potentially affected.<\/span>”<\/p>\n
