RUSH TRANSCRIPT Which certainly ░░░░░░░░ a lot of room ░░░░░░░░ for the attorney general ░░░░░░░░ it comes to going ░░░░░░░░ the administration s perceived ░░░░░░░░ Joining me now is ░░░░░░░░ federal prosecutor for the ░░░░░░░░ District of New York ░░░░░░░░ Honig and former Obama ░░░░░░░░ House ethics czar norm ░░░░░░░░ whose own security clearance ░░░░░░░░ revoked by the president ░░░░░░░░ a memo late Friday ░░░░░░░░ alongside more than a ░░░░░░░░ others including former vice ░░░░░░░░ Kamala Harris and former ░░░░░░░░ of state Hillary Clinton ░░░░░░░░ you were listening to ░░░░░░░░ government s argument Does ░░░░░░░░ need to give migrants ░░░░░░░░ this 18th century law ░░░░░░░░ Well so the most ░░░░░░░░ thing I think that ░░░░░░░░ today is the government ░░░░░░░░ lawyer who you just ░░░░░░░░ the clip from the ░░░░░░░░ from He even agreed ░░░░░░░░ some level some level ░░░░░░░░ due process was due ░░░░░░░░ these migrants So that ░░░░░░░░ runs counter to what ░░░░░░░░ are actually doing Yeah ░░░░░░░░ s a big gulf ░░░░░░░░ between what you re ░░░░░░░░ from some of the ░░░░░░░░ voices backing the administration ░░░░░░░░ what the position actually ░░░░░░░░ in court That moment ░░░░░░░░ the judge said the ░░░░░░░░ got better treatment here ░░░░░░░░ the United States during ░░░░░░░░ War II That was ░░░░░░░░ just some rhetorical hyperbole ░░░░░░░░ meant that literally Nazis ░░░░░░░░ time we used this ░░░░░░░░ enemies act were entitled ░░░░░░░░ a hearing now And ░░░░░░░░ the way that was ░░░░░░░░ pearl harbor Yes when ░░░░░░░░ U S entered the ░░░░░░░░ and the vitriol understandably ░░░░░░░░ nazis was obviously justifiably ░░░░░░░░ high The U S ░░░░░░░░ offered them a hearing ░░░░░░░░ expelling them Exactly right ░░░░░░░░ s the historical point ░░░░░░░░ was being made So ░░░░░░░░ Trump Administration even acknowledges ░░░░░░░░ are entitled to some ░░░░░░░░ process But the question ░░░░░░░░ really became how much ░░░░░░░░ the Trump Administration s ░░░░░░░░ if I can boil ░░░░░░░░ down is not much ░░░░░░░░ maybe too late when ░░░░░░░░ s already when they ░░░░░░░░ already in El Salvador ░░░░░░░░ it s really hard ░░░░░░░░ vindicate those rights Whereas ░░░░░░░░ attorney for the plaintiffs ░░░░░░░░ the challengers was saying ░░░░░░░░ they re entitled to ░░░░░░░░ least what the nazis ░░░░░░░░ which is a hearing ░░░░░░░░ some sort not a ░░░░░░░░ criminal case but a ░░░░░░░░ to make sure they ░░░░░░░░ the right person before ░░░░░░░░ re shipped out of ░░░░░░░░ country Norm what are ░░░░░░░░ chances I mean what ░░░░░░░░ now Well we ll ░░░░░░░░ a determination by this ░░░░░░░░ judge panel The swing ░░░░░░░░ is you had one ░░░░░░░░ each side It seemed ░░░░░░░░ the discourse from the ░░░░░░░░ today Anderson And the ░░░░░░░░ vote was silent Judge ░░░░░░░░ we ll see where ░░░░░░░░ lands I think history ░░░░░░░░ the Constitution and human ░░░░░░░░ all point in One ░░░░░░░░ There s now evidence ░░░░░░░░ fact the lawyer for ░░░░░░░░ aclu the very capable ░░░░░░░░ Gelernt pointed out that ░░░░░░░░ perhaps most a majority ░░░░░░░░ these people the evidence ░░░░░░░░ are not gang members ░░░░░░░░ what have we come ░░░░░░░░ as a country if ░░░░░░░░ people are being deported ░░░░░░░░ a dark site in ░░░░░░░░ foreign country without any ░░░░░░░░ process whatsoever I filed ░░░░░░░░ brief on behalf of ░░░░░░░░ two dozen conservatives who ░░░░░░░░ this is a violation ░░░░░░░░ conservative ideas Going back ░░░░░░░░ limiting government power So ░░░░░░░░ the court will see ░░░░░░░░ that way And in ░░░░░░░░ event it is headed ░░░░░░░░ the Supreme Court Ellie ░░░░░░░░ do you make of ░░░░░░░░ you know we ve ░░░░░░░░ covering the Trump targeting ░░░░░░░░ law firms trying to ░░░░░░░░ them intimidate anybody from ░░░░░░░░ able to bring a ░░░░░░░░ against the administration by ░░░░░░░░ law firms too scared ░░░░░░░░ actually represent people Paul ░░░░░░░░ prompt prominent law firm ░░░░░░░░ this deal that you ░░░░░░░░ they represent a lot ░░░░░░░░ pro bono clients They ░░░░░░░░ they ll do pro ░░░░░░░░ work equivalent to about ░░░░░░░░ million worth for the ░░░░░░░░ Is that a reasonable ░░░░░░░░ They bent the knee ░░░░░░░░ Weiss bent the knee ░░░░░░░░ mean I wish there ░░░░░░░░ a nicer way to ░░░░░░░░ it And by the ░░░░░░░░ I ran this by ░░░░░░░░ friends of mine who ░░░░░░░░ in very senior positions ░░░░░░░░ similar law firms to ░░░░░░░░ Weiss I said am ░░░░░░░░ missing something Am I ░░░░░░░░ Every single person I ░░░░░░░░ to said they gave ░░░░░░░░ Now look the the ░░░░░░░░ here does not start ░░░░░░░░ Paul Weiss The fault ░░░░░░░░ starts with the Trump ░░░░░░░░ I mean he just ░░░░░░░░ we re going after ░░░░░░░░ that engage in vexatious ░░░░░░░░ What does that even ░░░░░░░░ Vexatious That could mean ░░░░░░░░ Somebody who knows 1 ░░░░░░░░ 2 things about Vexatious ░░░░░░░░ But but like Trump ░░░░░░░░ filed many a lawsuit ░░░░░░░░ The initial order that ░░░░░░░░ Trump that Trump issued ░░░░░░░░ these firms said quote ░░░░░░░░ activities This is like ░░░░░░░░ stuff So it s ░░░░░░░░ fault But by giving ░░░░░░░░ and by the way ░░░░░░░░ when Paul Weiss said ░░░░░░░░ ll do 40 million ░░░░░░░░ of pro bono everyone ░░░░░░░░ pro bono That means ░░░░░░░░ legal services But it ░░░░░░░░ of Trump s choosing ░░░░░░░░ s with things that ░░░░░░░░ agrees with So if ░░░░░░░░ want to represent pro ░░░░░░░░
