establishment clause argument. how do you know, mr. purcell, how the president came to this decision to issue ordthis order? how do you know he didn t it for the most political reasons, i promised to people who voted for me i d do some kind of ban, i m going to do something like this. i don t think we re going to only face dangers from those sempb k seven countries. we might. this will get me through the night. how do you know it wasn t intended to stop muslims from coming into country due to their religion? how do you know his mind? if it s not written in the order. it s common to look behind the state of motives for a governmental action. the same action can be constitutional or not depending on what motivated it. for example, if a city passed an ordinance saying you have to shovel your sidewalks on saturday mornings, that might be perfectly fine but if the reason they did it was to block orthodox jews from living in city or discriminate them, then it s not fine and it s unconsti
treasury department. those are the next three we re expecting. if democrats keep holding things up, we could see late night votes on thursday night, saturday mornings. that s pretty rare here in the senate. of course, once we re through that, there s also attention being paid to the supreme court nomination. judge gorsuch has been up on capitol hill here today. we should see him meet with some democrats this week that tells you they want to make sure they don t need to use the so-called nuclear option, change the rules and convince eight democrats to vote for him, then he ll sail through. of course, a long fight ahead in that regard as well. kasie hunt for us on the hill, updating us on president trump s cabinet nominees. we re also just a few minutes away from the white house press briefing. sean spicer expected to take to the podium here. we re told 1:45, give or take five or ten minutes. kristen welker is standing by at the white house. i might imagine he would start
and some enterprising reporter should do this look at tweets on saturday mornings. you will find the ones that get him in the most trouble, this saturday morning he actually challenged a federal judge. that s crisis. attacked john lewis. time and again i actually joke with-yard say, hey, you may have to become a southern baptist because we can still pick up our phones on sunday. sunday, fairest minded tweet, after a women s march, a hall mark of american democracy. that happened sunday. thank you, willie. willie needs to get in. i know what you re saying. the thing about what we re saying, the direction of the republic hinging on whether or not jared and ivanka are observing the sabbath. i m sorry, that s totally insane. is that any crazier than
