countries getting special privileges in this new executive order, allowing them to remain in the u.s. but will it hold up in court? joining us now, our legal panel, jonah, former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney and philip, former assistant district attorney, former jag in the u.s. navy and former officer and legal advisor to a sheriff s department in georgia, thank you both for being here. from what you can tell, does this new order pass muster, will the supreme court i guess i should say appeals court let this one go? i believe it well. the president s job this time around was to take what was previously a valid executive order and make it bulletproof. from the sounds of it, he tweaked it enough so that it will withstand scrutiny. don t get me wrong, there will be litigation because the president cannot let his nose without someone wanting to sue over it, but we will not see a wholesale ban or estate of this executive order as we did the first one. jon: philip, do you a
other countries and says this will be a 90-day temporary ban. does that help his legal argument? i believe it certainly will. the biggest problem he clarified, and that was the legal permanent residents were getting caught in the net the first time around. now it is crystal clear that they are exempted from the new and improved order. the syrian refugees will be treated the same as other refugees for a period of 120 days and this will probably help the most, were not really going to roll it out until the middle of the month, so there won t be any chaos at the airport which prompted all of this extreme litigation on the fly as there was the last time. jon: it also blocks people who did not have a visa, valid visa as of january 27th, which was the day that the original order was rolled out. philip, does that make sense to you? it does, what that does is it basically says, all right, were going to go ahead and honor those visas that that court had said was somewhat in limbo,
the order tells them to do. so hopefully they will do their job to the best of their ability. also, there is a little bit of a gap between because the new order is supposed to apply retroactively so there might be some terrorists who raced to get visas in this gap. period into them i say, too bad. yosi 1182 gives the president the right to do this and those are the few people that might make the most noise initially. jon: go ahead, philip quickly. there is no guarantee they re going to be issuing any new visas of the next ten days anyway, so that right there might make the whole thing moot. jon: that could be issue, thank you both. jenna: some labor leaders cautiously warming up to the prospect of working with president trump as he continues to make decisions that seem to benefit unions. a closer look at the future of labor under the trump administration ahead. like what? like a second bee helmet with protective netting.
