bite at the apple. in some ways it looks like they are making progress. a lot of legal experts saying they are doing a better job of explaining it. the shear passage of time allows the administration to say it s been looking at these countries, their enterm vetting procedures. putting it through vigorous review. at the same time the critics are not backing down an inch. the aclu is calling it muslim ban 3.0. trump will have this problem campaign rhetoric when he called for a total shutdown of all muslims entering the country. that s going to be used in court briefs against him people say this is back door way to implement a ban like this. bret: venezuela and north korea present an argument. virtually no north koreans come to this country and venezuela factor is just a few government officials. it s really pretty minor part of this. last quick point. i remain surprised pleasantly that we have not had a major domestic terror
comments. some of them here on cnn while he was campaigning making the case against his revised travel ban in the new rulings this morning. and cnn media analyst and offer of the war for late night. let me begin with you. those words when he said to anderson cooper i think islam hates us. those words and many more coming back to haunt him in these rulings. they have been cited by the judges. we have also seen recent interview from trump aids cited by the judges. he was on the interview circuit a few sunday mornings back. trump praised miller but it s been millers words used in the court briefs. legally this is going to get sticky because this is an extension of legislative intent but a counter argument is going to be so if this executive order is going to be written by obama
