Jordan Sekulow on Travel Ban Rulings: SCOTUS Is Clear You Don’t Look Behind the Text of the Order
EXCERPT:
SEKULOW: "I do believe the Supreme Court doesn’t have to take any case, but when it comes to presidential power it is very likely that it will. That bigger part of this case will probably be heard in the fall, sometime October. And the question will be did these statements by campaign associates, by President Trump on the campaign trail as a politician before serving in the government, before governing and issuing this executive order have anything to do with the actual text? And when you look at Supreme Court precedent unlike these circuit courts and lower courts, the Supreme Court precedent is pretty clear you don’t look behind the facial challenge, the text of the executive order. And even these judges that ruled against this executive order and found it unconstitutional, they all admitted on its face it is constitutional. You even had lawyers in court saying they were opposed to this saying if it wasn’t Donald Trump that put it through that they would hold it constitutional or that they wouldn't even be challenging it in court."
