forward with rec len station. look, i think that vast majority of americans understand we need to tighten our security, we need to tighten our vetting procedures, and understand who is coming in. not just from 7 countries, but from any country. and so take the time to do it right, and don t continue down a battle with 9th circuit, my dad served on 9th circuit as one of lone conservative, you are not going to live in that court, let it go. maria: okay that is important. your opinion on russia reportedly considering turning snowden over to u.s. as a gift. i hope if snowden is turned over to u.s., he is tried for treason, because he is a traitor. maria: okay that is ha has been talked about, carly there are
about appealing this order. maria: you think it was a weak response? no, i think that president needs to make a good decision for his administration. the country as a whole. if i were him i would issue a new econom executive order makie that green card holders and interpreters are not included on the ban. maria: do you think he wins if it does go to supreme court. most likely, the president has a lot of discretion with entering intos country regarding national security, whole idea of 9th circuit, that second guesses national security judgment an is a nonstarter. this is clearly not a muslim ban there are christians and other people in these countries that cannot travel either. maria: the push back from the
