asked the whole country yes or no, the answer, resoundingly, by almost 40 points is no. no of course not. we re americans, we know how the constitution works, right? the president should not be able to overturn decisions by judges because he disagrees with those decisions. that s the national answer. now look at this. ask that same question to donald trump supporters and this is what you get. donald trump voters, an actual majority of them, say that donald trump should be able to overturn decisions by judges that he disagrees with. 51% of trump supporters say, yeah, yeah, he should. and so tonight the judiciary once again in the biggest way yet said no to the president. this three-judge panel, the federal appeals court judges unanimously ruling the trump refugee ban and muslim ban cannot go into effect. trump voters say this president should be able to throw that ruling aside and do whatever he
and bluntly in this new polling that we ve got people are against what he s done in the executive order, they think it was an attempted muslim ban, they don t want to ban muslims and by the way, they don t like the new president. anthony romero, president of the aclu, great to see you tonight. i heard you were supposed to be here that was way more fun than being here tonight. you canceled your plans. i m here with you, i m delightful. thank you. we have much more ahead, including one republican congress who was s having a huge boisterous town hall as we speak. there s a camera there. stay with us.
of the president s actions so they don t have a new solicitor general in line. they have had a new attorney general for a day. do you expect their competence, their basic ability to enact what they want to enact is going to get better and make it harder to fight them? it has to get better. it can t get worse. if they don t up their game they re out of the game. it s clear they haven t put forward the best arguments in the courts. they haven t put the report in a way that s convincing to the ninth circuit or the district court judge. i still think we have a credible case. the attorney general in washington has done a fantastic job. there are dozens of lawyers working on these cases. we have 12 cases on the muslim ban but there are dozens of lawyers across the country, the immigrant legal resource center, they re all bringing these types of cases, they re being schooled by the best immigrants lawyers in the country. i think ultimately we win.
have to take this policy action, you can show that to the court. the supreme court allowed to see anything you want them to see. federal court sees super-duper tiptop classified information all the time. you guys know that, right? it s not actually a defense against review by the judiciary that the judiciary hasn t seen what you ve seen. if that s your argument, you have to show them what you ve seen. you don t get that? here s another one. that s footnote eight. that s my personal favorite. here s another one. this is the part where the trump administration is telling the court don t rule on anything in the ban, don t rule on the executive order that has to deal with legal permanent residence, that has to do with permanent green cards. remember when they implemented this in the first place and this was this confusion to not just whether or not people who were citizens of other countries but what happened people who had green cards. what about legal permanent residents of the united st
court judge. i still think we have a credible case. the attorney general in washington has done a fantastic job. there are dozens of lawyers working on these cases. we have 12 cases on the muslim ban but there are dozens of lawyers across the country, the immigrant legal resource center, they re all bringing these types of cases, they re being schooled by the best immigrants lawyers in the country. i think ultimately we win. if even they like nina totenbersuggested they ll rewrite and try to get it closer to constitutional muster. you think even if they do the best possible job in presenting this policy, rerolling it out on the merits you can t beat them? they can t do etch a sketch. they can t erase the clear racial bias. they can t erase the comments of president trump on christian broadcast radio wanting to carve out exceptions for minority religions so he could protect christians. they try to back up and do it all over again they have all this history that it s clear
