That the democrats, that the media who criticized this policy, callit muslim ban, saying it was unnecessary, saying that it was racist, saying that it was xenophobic, saying that all those people were wrong and in fact the courts agreed with him. to be clear, the version they agreed with was very far from the original ban that he put into effect when he first took office, and that sort of shock and awe series of executive orders. thisas something that various agencies across the government spent...

Media who criticized this policy, calling it a muslim ban, saying it was unnecessary, saying that it was racist, saying that it was zenphobic, saying that all those people were wrong and in fact the courts agreed with him. to be clear, the version they agreed with was very far from the original ban that he put into effect when he first took office, and that sort of shock and awe series of executive orders. this was something that various agencies across the government spent weeks and weeks build...

Thats what led the courts to rein him in. and only after the president tried, tried, and tried a third time did he whittle down the policy and included countries like north korea and venezuela, and finally he was able to pass by the thinnest of majorities, 5-4, some constitutional muster. but it does not mean the policy is wise. from a national security perspective, you want to do risk-based targeting. you want to use intelligence to focus your security apparatus on the true risks, not engage in...

This supreme court decision as you see it? >> well, this 5-4 decision wasnt a surprise because if youll recall the president started his administration almost from day one initiating a total categorical blanket ban on seven muslim majority countries. thats what led the courts to rein him in. and only after the president tried, tried, and tried a third time did he whittle down the policy and included countries like north korea and venezuela, and finally he was able to pass by the thinnest of majo...

And the majority disagreed and they say there was a history. >> absolutely. and anyone who looks at the presidents statement would glean this was intended to limit muslim immigration and he has suggested that woe be more explicit if it werent for political correctness. i do think that by the time the administration crafted a third version of the executive order, they tinkered with the language enough to pass legal muster. and the supreme court was willing to show deference on what they claim is ...

Department for changing that ban, narrowing it a little bit so it would have legal muster, which is why it was upheld today. now the president focusing on this as a viktdry, saying it justifies his hard line immigration tactics. what we should work toward now is how this propels the president going forward. if it affects his policies on the u.s. mexico border, but for now, the

Something that they were able to tailor to get through -- it seems constitutional muster. i disagree with the decision and the outcome. i think we cannot -- we just cannot walk away from the fact of how this all started, which was a president that said he wanted to ban muslims from our country. we are a nation had muslims as part of our nation for entire history. great scientists, athletes, muhammad ali, some of our greatest heroes, and this is a person that wants to use something that our found...

Victory lap on it. this is clearly a policy, as you know, he announced during his campaign. came into office. revised ito get right with the court. took him a few tries. did so and passed constitutional muster here. i think itsnificant for two other reasons. one, perhaps his tweets and statements are not going to be examined with the same weight as his actual policies are going forward. that may be helpful to him in other circumstances going forward. also, the timing of this that this conversati...
