Ruled and sort of pointed to the presidents intent and remember they said the comments he made, rhetoric he used in the campaign demanding muslim ban and thats what this was really all about, that they were relevant, they could be looked at. when you write a new eo, even if it included a nation, eighth nation that doesnt have majority muslims in it, its possible that washington state, the states could press that the original intent, its just another get-around to get to the muslim ban in rhetori...

To the supreme court. >> if it went to the supreme court and was 4-4, the lower court ruling was stand? >> thats correct, they split 4-4, the number of judges that they have is eight, the lower court ruling stands, and the freeze on the ban stays in place. >> so vince, the center for constitutional rights has sought, theyve actually sought some documentation, they want to see documentation on how -- they dont want to call it a muslim ban, the travel ban came about. one of the questions is whethe...

Court did that today. >> heres president trumps reaction. >> its a political decision and we will see them in court. >> you believe the judges -- >> we have a situation where the security of our country is at stake and its a very, very serious situation. so we look forward as i just said to seeing them in court. >> do you agree it was a political decision in. >> no,i dont. you have four different judges. you had the lower court who is a bush appointee and a carter appointee and obama appointee a...

Like in order to pass constitutional muster and what the washington state or minnesota or any other state has to prove in order to be successful. >> it sounds, david, like that would be the best answer for the president right now. forget about the earlier executive order which the 9th circuit court of appeals found unconstitutional. but go ahead, get rid of that, and rewrite, start from scratch, and write a new executive order that might be more acceptable. the problem is, a political problem, i...

Are unlikely to see the white house revisit this issue because that just doesnt seem to be donald trumps style. the court took issue with the way they readjusted the ban not applying it to green card holders saying, like, the white house council doesnt speak for the president. whereas tump courump could have that clear and decided to go through the white house council instead. the court says that does not hold muster. >> great to have you here this morning. the congress is looking into whether...

Options. it could did to the supreme court on appeal, or go back to the 9th circuit before a larger panel of judges. or it could return to the district court in seattle to bolster its case. another option is to rewrite the executive order, but that could be tricky because the 9th circuit already expressed concern about a more limited ban that only applies to people who have never step foot in the u.s. >> but even if they did that, if seems there still could be some issues because the 9th circuit...

Court judge. i still think we have a credible case. the attorney general in washington has done a fantastic job. there are dozens of lawyers working on these cases. we have 12 cases on the muslim ban but there are dozens of lawyers across the country, the immigrant legal resource center, theyre all bringing these types of cases, theyre being schooled by the best immigrants lawyers in the country. i think ultimately we win. >> if even they like nina totenbersuggested theyll rewrite and try to get...

Moratorium and there is the vetting. the vetting forget the support. it doesnt depend on a moratorium. the fact is, they have lost the case and the most liberal circuit in the country, at the district level, for now, the supreme court is deadlocked. it is likely to return. in other words, the state cases stacked against him. by playing a losing hand? needs to do, think its exactly right, either rewrite the order or have a new one. a different playing field. youve gotten a sense of feedback of th...

Repeal the order and replace with something that can pass must per >> pete williams also here with us. chuck alluding to something floated perhaps the idea of a ban more narrow in scope might be something thats a little bit more palatable to some judges in this country, the idea maybe if the president were to say folks who have never been to america from one of these seven countries, is that something, pete, that might pass muster from a legal standpoint? >> well the ninth circuit ruling seemed ...

Pointing finger of responsibility at the legal counsel. well see a shake-up of the justice department. the lawyer that argued this case fothe government did not do an adequate job in court. the office of legal counsel did not do an adequate job. we have a new attorney general. lets hope he puts together a better group of people who will come up with an order now that can both pass constitutional muster and protect from us terrorism. a win-win for all americans. >> i know were almost out of time....
