The ban may not be unconstitutional, but it being passed as an executive order might be. There may be other ways to get it done.

You're completely wrong. The Constitution gives the president that right under 8 U.S. Code § 1182 - Inadmissible aliens. It's activist judges that are aligned as basically hating Trump and not following the law but defining the law in there own way and not as it's written.

I'm not saying it is. I'm saying it might be, as defined by the supreme court. If they strike it down, it might not be the law itself, just how it became law.

Their motivations aside.

Edit: I looked at the code you mentioned... It's huge. Is there a specific thing in there?

Edit 2:

(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline

Interesting... Now I am invested and will be curious to hear their opinions... The especially interesting part is that it says when "the President finds" that given immigrants are bad. Not that they have to be demonstrably bad. But the "President finds".
