required to provide cakes for e same-sex marriage violated his religion. he argues he is an artist and cakes are a work of art, he is forced to create a message he doesn t agree with. secondly, the court once again today said it is not getting into the issue of begun rights. biggest issue nationwide on gun rights, is there a right to carry a gun outside the home. in 2008, the supreme court in a very big decision for the first time in our history said the second amendment provides an individual right to have a gun and the court said specifically you have a right to have a gun at home for self defense. the big legal question is what about outside the home. is there a right to carry a gun outside, what about conceal carry. the court had a big invitation to take that up from today from california and it declined to do so. one other notable case, without hearing any argument simply on the record, the court today overturned a policy in the state
we are checking in, asking how will we see some response, will we see some response from the president or white house when this news comes out. i expect that something is being formulated now would be my guess. we know we re going to hear from sean spicer not on camera, but i imagine this is one of the first questions for him, what is the administration going to do here. what we ve seen in the past is that the president frankly takes to twitter, get online and show some frustration that one of his key presidential priorities on the campaign trail is not happening. this, hallie, as you say is going to be the case everyone is watching. i m looking at the notes we re getting from pete williams and nbc colleagues. travel ban decision will be argued. the case will be argued in october. that s the supreme court. if you want to be bare bones about it, they re disagreeing with arguments of the trump white house that it was so urgent had to be done immediately, had to be reinstated until it i

ramifications. it sounds like they re going to be punished for coming to a different conclusion. is that what you re suggesting? no, i m not sucking that. i m just saying you go through the process, let the legal system work and go from that, see what s determined from that. we re also just now, in fact, i m going to report this because i m just getting it, you re just getting it. cnn is learning that the u.s. government will not, repeat, not appeal the travel ban decision to the u.s. supreme court right now. do you agree with that decision by the white house? i think it s probably a smarter way to go. i would rather just start with a new one and then come out with that and continue the process that president trump laid out. and, i mean, wolf, this is about national security. this is something that i would think every american, republican, democrat, conservative, liberal, everybody would want to get this one right. we don t want to repeat what happened in brussels, germany, franc
