mcgurn and joe rago. will this get through the courts? i think so. as he described to have addressed the issues that were raised in these lawsuits. so i think what is going on now by the attorney general and democratic date it is a political exercise to simply thwart the executive order on the travel ban. no matter what. let s make something clear. the war on terror is not going to be won or lost at jfk airport. is going to be won or lost in the places that general cain was just talking about.raqqa, mosul, yemen, the middle east. we just heard that they united states has a plan together. the idea that the democrats are not going to try to shut down one piece of that after the administration has addressed their objections turns it into a political circus. kimberly, to the point of the state attorney general for the state of washington, bob ferguson has said there is no difference between this new
and this undermines billions in investments and so forth and the advantages of the united states that we have in technology. and you re right to call this an assault on the united states. the sense is to start a debate that there are a lot of ways to have a debate going to committees and so forth. this is a freelance attack on the united states. joe, what are people out there really were concerned about? the security breach itself or the fact that the government has all of this buying power? quest was that this can sometimes sound scary. but you have to put this into context. you re being surveilled all the time by all of your consumer products. financial companies are watching your credit card transactions. google is running algorithms on your email. everything you do online, there s basically no more expectation of privacy. so i guess what things like this, where it is exposed is it really any worse than anything else that is just a routine
if it goes up the chain, especially if neil gorsuch is confirmed to the supreme court soon then i do not think that this has a leg to stand on. but joe, dealing with the ninth circuit what a name is a lot of people was how they did not even deal with the law. it focused on things that were not even true. like nobody from these countries that has ever been arrested for terrorism. which when in fact there have been. so i am just wondering if this ninth circuit is not as politically inclined as the attorney general who oppose this. it was a very perfunctory ruling.it didn t really address the merits of the case. i tend to think the travel ban is unwise because it is turning into a fight between the executive branch and the judiciary. the executive branch has a lot of power here. but kind of willful judges are
editorial report, i m paul gigot. that was the president on friday, capping off a tumultuous first month in the white house and coming as the president prepares to address a joint session of congress for the first time. so what can we expect from that high stakes speech on tuesday? let s ask wall street journal columnist and deputy editor dan henninger, columnist kim strassel, editorial board member joe rago and columnist bill mcgurn. let s step back before we get into that speech and where are we in terms of how the president has done in this first month? well, paul, it s actually 36 days. i know it feels like a month, if not a year, but we re grinding forward, and it s been a tumultuous first month. there s been a lot good to talk about. i mean, some of these executive orders on deregulation, i think, are lifting the stock market without question. but there s been a lot of controversy too, and to my mind, the pivotal event was the
back with dan henegar. jill, our these real or are they invented by activists. i think they are organic. they are organizing themselves on social media and we live in a political world. culture that rewards historical displays of promotion. at these town halls as a way to get their arguments into the plymouth political bloodstream. where the trump administration is. this is part of the resistance. this is the less new way of dealing with donald trump. it s not to engage him on the senate or the house floor is not to to white it cooperate with him in any way. it s a permanent protest all the time. and as joe said these feelings
