AG Sessions on Hawaii Judge: ‘I Don’t Know that I Said Anything that I Would Want to Phrase Differently’

‘We’re going to defend the president’s order’

EXCERPT:

SESSIONS: "Well, I don’t know that I said anything that I would want to phrase differently. No. We’re going to defend the President’s order. We believe it’s constitutional. We believe there is specific statutory authority for everything in that order that he did and he has a right to do and to protect this country. It only delayed six nations, who have had real terrorist connections, for 90 days in the immigration process. He directed the entities of our government to review our present policies to make sure we’re not admitting any terrorists. I think that’s a perfectly reasonable thing for the President, who has all access to intelligence, defense information, other kind of information that none of the judges in America have."
