Speaker 1: legal issues in the news. It's brought to you by

Speaker 1: with the International Center for a Dispute Resolution, the leader

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: in alternative dispute resolution around the world i c DR

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: dot org. Today Bloomberg Lahos student Grosso and Greg Sture

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: discussed the latest developments in the different legal challenges to

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: President Trump's Executive Order on immigration, which has been struck

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: down by a federal appeals court and could go all

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: the way to the Supreme Court. They speak with Stephen Vladik,

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: a professor at University of Texas School of Law, and

12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: lies A goyte Nay, co director of the Liberty and

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice. Steve

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: pick out one thing in the original travel band that

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: you think would have to be changed, uh, for for

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: it to survive a court challenge. I think the first

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: thing is that a new executive order would have to

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: clarify what to this point has only come from the

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: lips of the White House Council and the Press Secretary,

20
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: which is that the executive Order on its face, does

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: not apply to so called LPRs, lawful permanent resident aliens,

22
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: green card holders. Um. I think that's no brainer. I

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: also think frankly that if they really want to insulate

24
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: the executive order from some of the more structural challenges

25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: to it, you know, I think they need to reconsider

26
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 1: the list of seven countries and the original executive order

27
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: and the exception to the refugee ban for members of

28
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: religious minorities. Um. More diversity on the list of countries

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: and the elimination of a religious exception might actually make

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: this much more uh consistent with the Constitution's protections against

31
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: religious discrimination. So those two me are the two easiest steps, Liza,

32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: Assuming that this will be challenged as well, would the

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: government still have to provide evidence to refute claims made

34
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: by people like Secretaries of State mad linol brighton John

35
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: Kerry that Trump's executive order would be ineffective in making

36
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: the US less safe. Yes, I think there is going

37
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: to be a need for the administration to put on

38
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: evidence and support of whatever revised order comes out unless

39
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: that order looks extremely different from the order that has

40
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: already been issued, and we know that's not going to

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: be the case. Trump has already said that it's going

42
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: to differ very little. And the problem for the administration

43
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: is that there have been so many statements that the

44
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: President made while he was a candidate and after he

45
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: was the president, suggesting that the underlying purpose behind this

46
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: executive order is to try to keep Muslims out of

47
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: the countries. But that's the background to all of this.

48
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: And so in order to refute this evidence that that

49
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: there is religious animus behind the order, there needs to

50
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: be something more than just a wrote invocation of the

51
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: words national security. There will have to be some evidence

52
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: as to, you know, why the countries were chosen, whatever

53
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: those countries may be on this in this next executive order,

54
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: and what the security threat is from them. And as

55
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: Liza Goytine, co director of the Liberty and National Security

56
