Totenberg suggested theyll rewrite and try to get it closer to constitutional muster. you think even if they do the best possible job in presenting this policy, rerolling it out on the merits you cant beat them? >> they cant do etch a sketch. they cant erase the clear racial bias. they cant erase the comments of president trump on christian broadcast radio wanting to carve out exceptions for minority religions so he could protect christians. they try to back up and do it all over again they have...

Executive order that would pass muster, what would that look like? >> i mentioned white house counsel. thats number one. number two, they could deal with due process issues. thats is there notice? is there hearings or some sort of procedural protections at least for the class of people who under precedent would get that kind of protection? it would be persons in the united states. not necessarily the bulk of people who might be affected by this order who have never been here or authorized all ov...

Public service. i want to get back to professor dershowitz. you said youre rooting for mr. purce wil purcell, explain, unpack that if you can. >> i think the policy is terrible. i think the president should rescind it, go back to the drawing board, do exactly what mr. purcell said, go through the national security council, consult with his new attorney general and draft a rule that would pass constitutional muster. i dont like this law. so i hope he wins, but on constitutional grounds, i think h...

Lawyers, then, argue that we are focused more on trying to create a venting system to make sure that we are not going to be put in harms way. they are citing cases, my father who is an immigration professor retired, those kleindienst, the mandel case, marxists and communists, fundamentally, they were constitutional and statutory arguments made today. the question is, will they hold muster and we are all curious about what will happen with that. >> martha: lets open this up and bring in judge nap...

>> look, ari, were right now in a situation where i think the president has run up against this wall of reality, as i wrote in the "daily beast" today, or yesterday, that he has collided with reality. there are things in this country where the rule of law still applies, where judges, not so-called judges, actual judges still seated on the courts can tell the president that an action or an order does not meet constitutional or legal muster. thats what theyre doing. this is a guy whos in a panic b...

Decide. heather: that is the question. brad, who does get to make that decision? we heard vice president pence saying similar to what amy is saying and i think we heard diane feinstein that no, he does have the right. >> i think that honestly its not his decision to tell us what is in our best national security interest but very much in his decision to decide whether a law -- or an executive order stands up to constitutional muster and this is a judge who is a good man who has done really, reall...

"outrageous" out. when the stay came through, the appeals court agreeing they issued a statement theyre going to issue a stay from the white house which clearly hadnt passed muster with the legal counsel office because white houses dont issue stays. they apply, they file motions for stays to the court system. it just doesnt seem to be a process in place yet for executive orders or these comments on legal rulings. >> theres an odd combination of incompetence and the level at the white house, the ...
