talked to his attorney general yet. that s right. reporter: i had a chance to catch up with kellyannec conway. i asked her whether or not the president views this decision as some sort of set back or defeat. she didn t exactly answer that question, but here s what she had to say. this is a defeat? do you see this as a setback? he sees it as the statute provides a president with great latitude and authority to protect the citizens and protect the nation s national security. this was not argued on the merits. now that we ll have an opportunity to argue on the merits, we look forward to doing that. i think his tweet was perfect when he said, we ll see you in court. there you go. some confidence being expressed by kellyanne conway at the white house. not a lot new in terms of arguments being laid out by the white house in response to this, just the very tough talk that we re going to see you in court. that is not exactly going to win the day at the supreme court. i asked kel ....

cares. that itself was an interesting thing to watch at the time. presidential nominee absents himself from the party platform process. interesting. but what was way more interesting than that, what was riveting and bizarre to watch at the time that we couldn t make heads or tails of at the time was the trump campaign s one exception on the party platform. even hope the they let this other stuff slide, that was very much not in keeping with trump and the campaign, they did decide to get up on their hind legs and fight and intercede aggressively for one specific thing in the platform. one specific part of the republican party platform, and that was a thing about russia. there was a proposed plank for the republican party platform that said ukraine should get help from the united states up to and including lethal weaponry so ukraine could fight off russian incursions. and you know what, the trump campaign let everything else in the platform slide. even stuff that might theoretic ....
