Former Obama administration acting solicitor general Neal K. Katyal, representing Hawaii, said that Trump had taken an “iron wrecking ball” to the law Congress had implemented to govern immigration and keep the nation safe.
“No president in 100 years” has tried to issue such a broad-based immigration ban, Katyal said, adding that it was based on Trump’s animosity toward Muslims.
But conservative justices Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Neil M. Gorsuch, along with Roberts, peppered Katyal with questions on how the president had exceeded his lawful authority, given that Congress had granted the executive branch broad latitude to bar people’s entry to the U.S.
Alito is apparently on record as saying, it doesnt sound like it applies to Muslims.
“No president in 100 years”
What a stupid argument. No President in 100 years was a woman, either. Does he argue against breaking that precedent?
