Is undoubtedly going to wind up in the supreme court. one other fact to keep in mind, though, is that this executive order is something of a moving target. what it means has not been clear. and just on the question, for example, of whether it applies to people with green cards. the administration is now saying it doesn't, after it appeared that it did. so, how the courts rule on it will in part be affected by what it means, because even that is just not clear at this point. >> but i mean, i thought the white house tried to clarify that this did not apply to green card holders. >> reporter: wel...

Historic and very important. and i do think that clarification is in order. first of all, the court held against the arguments of the attorney general of the united states, or at least the justice department, that the states of minnesota and washington had standing to represent universities -- be affected by this unconstitutional order. secondly, the only practical impact of what the judge did would have to be the reinstatement of the 60,000 to 100,000 visas that were arbitrarily and secretly canceled at the same time that the matter was pending before the courts. i mean, that's one of the mor...

What you are saying, jeffrey is, you are likening this to an american civil war, throwing people in jail and not giving them the right of their lawyers. that is not what was happening in these airports. to suggest that this is a direct parallel with lincoln and the american civil war, it just belies -- >> the question of power raised by one of our legal analysts. because you were saying this may only affect the people who already have visas. is there any indication that this would not affect the broader idea of a 90-day ban on entry? is there any reason why this would only be the people who al...
