Kruathammer: Trump Tweeting ‘We’re Doing Extreme Vetting’ Undermines Travel Ban

‘The point of the travel ban was to give 90 days during which the administration could redo the vetting procedure’

KRAUTHAMMER: “The one tweet among all of these that I think is the most astonishing and has gotten the least amount of coverage is the one where he says we are already doing extreme vetting. The point of the travel ban was to give 90 days during which the administration could redo the vetting procedure and come up with extreme vetting. If, as the President has tweeted today, we are already doing that, then the ban disappears, the rationale evaporates and what is it all about? It's moot.. This undermines the case the administration has before the Supreme Court more than anything else and it’s sitting out there in broad daylight. And by the way, if you watch the hearings, you must watch it on Fox. (Laughter) It could be a bust, but boy, it’s going to be exciting.”
