Clearly in violation of a statute. this law doesn't satisfy that very hard criterion in all its respects. there may be parts that are constitutional. let me give you an example. if you have people who are in yemen, they've never been in the united states, they want to come here, the president has plenary authority to deny them. we have a tragic history, but a long history of denying people the ability to come to this country on political grounds, we don't like their ideology, we kept them out if they were communists. that happens to be the law and precedent. i wish that would change, but no th...

Meetings? >> well, you want those decisions to be made purely on the basis of national security. what the president wants to draw on those people around him, who are going to give him advice, based on national security, not on politics, a good example is this order that went down over the weekend. steve bannon apparently was the architect of this order, or one of the arc tects of this order. the president did not have the input of his director of homeland security, did not have the input of his defense secretary, did not have the input of the attorney general or the acting attorney general, an...

>> i'm not trying to start a war. i'm trying to win the war we're in, you won't win the war by lumping everybody into a big pot. sir, president trump said he was working with allies on the hill. a lot of them didn't seem to know about it, though. >> that's absolutely right. if he was working with allies, it was a very tight circle and excluded a lot of the relevant committees we would expect to be involved in this. that means it's basically just costing donald trump unnecessary political capital. a lot of republicans on the hill who have been very critical of this order had made it clear it'...
