1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,760 Speaker 1: When I was time for our daily Bloomberg Law and 2 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: Brief exploring legal issues in the news, and today, Bloomberg 3 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: Law host During Grosso and Michael Best dissess the Supreme 4 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: Court's decision to revive a much of President Trump's controversial 5 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,239 Speaker 1: travel ban. They seek with Josh Blackman, a professor at 6 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: South Texas College of Law. Josh, how big a win 7 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: is this for the president after appellate losses all the 8 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 1: way up to the Supreme Court? Well, I think the 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: most significant aspect of the Court's ruling is that all 10 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: of the justices seem to agree that the lower courts 11 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: messed up, and that they all agree that the lower 12 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: court injunction must be modified, at least in part. And significantly, 13 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: none of the justices in this joint opinion UM delved 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: into the President's Twitter account or looked to his campaign statements. 15 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: It was a fairly mechanical, routine decision, the sort of 16 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: decision we're used to seeing when the president's implicated. UM 17 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: much unlike how the lower courts were doing these things 18 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: that frankly had never been done before. And in fairness, 19 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: we've never quite had the president like Trump before, So 20 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: I suppose it's it's part of the game. But the 21 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: court I think signaled and put the brakes a bit 22 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: on how the lower courts were addressing these matters, Josh, 23 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: the band though, does uh still it was over? At 24 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: least the stay on the band was kept in place 25 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: for those with substantial contacts to the United States. Does 26 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: that imply that the the grounds that the lower courts 27 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: had found the band to be problematic might still be 28 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: a problem when the case gets hurt in followed by 29 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. Um. I think you can look at 30 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: this a couple of different ways. Um. On the one hand, 31 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: the lower courts held that because of President Trump's campaign statements, 32 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: his animus affected every single aspect of the Court's decision. Right, 33 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: every aspect of the executive Order was tainted. What the 34 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: Court held is well, not every aspect of the order 35 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: was tainted. Perhaps some aspects were it So in that sense, 36 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: I do think there's a scaling back of the ruining. Um. 37 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: It's entirely consistent with the course ruling that ultimately the 38 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: decision is sort of the Executive Order is invalidated by 39 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: the Court, but at a minimum, this idea that everything 40 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: Trump touches with respect to Muslims must be unconstitutional. That 41 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: part wasn't increpudiated, as Josh Blackman, a professor at South 42 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: Texas College of Law, speaking with the Bloomberg Law host 43 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: during Grosso and Michael Best.
