Katy tur picks things up. Im not sure that donald trump can speak fluent japanese. We have a team of reporters working on finding that out. We also have a team of reporters to break down Donald Trumps second bilateral meeting. That Press Conference that we justaw between donald trump and the Prime Minister of japan, shinzo abe. It has been a gruelling week for the new president. His major policy and major policy point, Executive Order struck down at least temporarily by the courts. That Press Conference we just saw touched on that. Lets get our viewers up to speed with the highlights and then well talk all about it on the other side. Im curious about yesterdays ruling in the ninth Circuit Court. Has it caused you to rethink your use of Executive Power and pow will you respond and will you sign new Executive Orders and perhaps a new travel ban . We are going to do whatever is necessary to keep our country
safe. We had a decision which we think will be very successful with. It shouldnt h
in some very big cases, including the case in 2008 where george w. bush said, look, i can hold a bosnian foreign resident at guantanamo, and they don t get to come into u.s. courts. that was a very compelling argument. talk about law and politics. politically the notion that someone who is not an american who is in gitmo because they might have been a terrorist doesn t get to come use our courts and our benefits. it was politically appealing. the supreme court rejected that said even with national security, there s access to the court. that reviewable thing is something that has not obviously been accepted by the ninth circuit or even other courts. for example, they did get a positive ruling that s been talked about less by district court in boston but that also did review and take the case. it didn t dismiss it for lack of standing and didn t basically say this is such a differential item of national security we re not going to touch it at all. they lost that round but there s a lot o
by the end of the week. devos, price and sessions. i, jeff sessions, to solemnly swear tensions so high during sessions confirmation that senator warren was silenced for reading the words of coretta scott king. is there an objection? i appeal the ruling. objection is heard. the senator will take her seat. and that was about as good as the news got for the white house. the temporary fate of the executive order was still looming. are you arguing that the president s decision in that regard is unreviewable? yes. opening questions of where the case could wind up. supreme court you think? we ll see. for trump, what the court s intent was. i don t want to call a court bias. we haven t had a decision yet. but courts seem to be so
the supreme court. they haven t, as i understand it, made a decision to do that yet. the other problem here is no matter even if they were able to persuade the u.s. supreme court to lift the stay and let the government enforce this order, there s another stay likely coming from the federal court here in alexandria, virginia, which heard argument on a preliminary injunction and lawsuit brought by virginia which makes virtually the same claims that the two states did that prevailed in the ninth circuit yesterday. one possible way to improve its legal standing would be to narrow the executive order. ninth circuit court of appeals in its ruling last night seem to point the way of this saying one of the reasons the states have a good case is that the executive order effects green card holders no matter what the white house said. that s what the executive orders said and people who have visas are visiting here faculty, students, people who want to travel for high-tech companies, fa familie
right now especially in this early posture. if they do, we re going to be prepared. one of the amazing things is that when i walked out of court after arguing that first muslim ban case the saturday night, there were a thousand people out there. that s an unbelievable confluence of community groups, leaders and lawyers. we re in a real civil rights moment not just lawyers going into court making technical arguments and not just protests but everyone combining. we ll definitely be ready if they do it. what do civil rights extend to? if you re an immigrant trying to get into this country not yet here but you re working at it, do our american civil rights, our american beliefs and ideals extend to you trying to get in or just once you get to this soil? if you re outside the country, do you have a legal right to come in automatically? no, of course not. no one is arguing that. but can the u.s. government select who they re going to bring in by race, religion, no.
