It wasn't brinksmanship, in my opinion. As evidenced by this.
The best way party officials are spinning this is that he is expecting the courts to issue a stay right away and this run up is to give the ACLU enough warning to have the case ready to go.
This is just more brinksmanship.
And if they call his bluff, which leaning Conservative the courts just might, he's now got to either rescind the order in shame or deal with a Republican PR wet dream for the rest of the campaign season.
When you shut down the border based on numbers and automatically deny asylum to anyone who was too late it turns into a physical game at the border. The 2nd or 3rd time someone announces the border is back open everyone who wants asylum is going to run for it, creating huge crowds. The RNC is going to have cameras there and what do you think the headline is going to be? It's not going to be, "Biden Tough on Border". It's going to be stuff like, "Chaos at Border!", "Biden Loses Control", "Border States Deploy Armed National Guard"
Doubling down on the tactic doesn't make it not brinksmanship. And it does signal he has no problem abandoning his base.
