Opening Arguments - OA39: Trump’s Muslim Ban
- The CREW lawsuit is here.
- We reference two decisions on the "political question" doctrine: Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S. 186 (1962) and Nixon v. U.S., 506 U.S. 224 (1993).
- We initially discussed the Muslim Ban way back in OA Episode #16, which is worth another listen!
- The authorizing statute (the "1952 Law") is 8 USC §1182(f).
- The "1965 Law" is 8 USC §1152(a).
- In light of those two provisions, we think you can spot the errors in David Bier's op-ed in the New York Times.
- I wrote a lot on Facebook about the ACLU lawsuit and the injunction handed down by the court on Saturday, so you can check that out if you want the relevant documents.
The Gist - Up in the Air
The Trump administration’s executive order restricting travel to the U.S. set off at least four legal challenges, an international contagion of protests, and the harshest Republican rebukes yet to a Trump White House action. But it’s not yet clear how many people have been affected by the ban or exactly what it requires. Ben Johnson, head of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, calls the policy “as ill-conceived as it is wrong.”
For the Spiel, we could block out the sun with all the supposed trial balloons for autocracy floated in the past week.

Pod Save America - “Protest is the new brunch.”
Jon, Jon and Tommy discuss Trump's unconscionable Muslim ban and the politicization of national security. They're joined by The Guardian's Sabrina Siddiqui to discuss the global reaction to the EO, and then later by former White House lawyer Danielle Gray to discuss the EOs and Trump's impending Supreme Court pick.
