[crying] ahhhhhhhhhh the price you see is the price you pay, unlike cable. A dramatic decision this afternoon regarding the president s desireto reinstate the travel ban from his executive order. A three judge panel at the 9th Circuit Court of appeals has unanamouslydecided anota to reinstate the governements travel ban. Steve aveson has been closely following the story and joins us now from the kron4 newsroom with the latest. Grant, catherine, a Lower Court Ruling in Washington Statehad suspended the temporary ban. The Justice Department argued that theban was a lawful exercise of the president s authority who percieved the country was at imminent risk of terror attack from people traveling toand from 7 mostly muslim countries. But in a 29 page opinion, this panel disagreed. In sharing this opinion the three judge panel noted thatthere are compelling public interests on both sides of this argumentsaying, on the one hand, the public has a powerful interest in National Security and in the ability of an elected president to enact policies. And onthe other hand, the public also has an interest in the free flow of travel,in avoiding the separation of families and in freedom from discrimination. In their opinion the judges went on to say the government presented noevidence to explain the urgent need for President Trumps executive orderto take effect immediately. The initial ban did in fact cause confusion and upset to travellers and thosecharged with enforcing the law. The judges also went on to say the government did not present evidence that failure to reinstatethe ban would cause irreparable injury to the country. This is not the final act, but just the next scene in the temporary immigration travel ban drama. The immediate outcome is that the free flow of travel between the United States and the 7 restricted countries will continue. That willproceed with the same kind of already strong vetting that had been enforced under the obama administration. However the Trump Administration wants to develop something the call extreme vetting. The administration can now ask for a full review by the entire 9th Circuit Court or take their case directly to the Supreme Court. It didnt take long for reaction from the white house with President Trump to personally tweeting this response to the decision saying, see you in court, the security of our nation is at stake. And in response to the president s tweet Washington State governor jay inslee had this to say mr. President , we just saw you in court, and we beat you. Washington state gov. Jay inslee what exactly happens may have a less to do with tweets and more to dowith Legal Counsel from the Justice Department. Today is the first day on thejob for attorney general Jeff Sessions and he may have input into the president snext move.
