Episode notes
New Ban More Legally Careful
- The new travel ban is more carefully crafted, avoiding the obvious flaws of earlier versions.
- It relies on factual grounds and does not single out Muslim-majority countries, making it legally sturdier.
Court Ignores Motive in Immigration
- The Supreme Court separates the president's motives from the legality of the policy.
- Courts defer broadly to presidential decisions on immigration and entry restrictions.
Ban Text Versus Enforcement Risk
- The written text of the ban is likely to withstand legal scrutiny.
- However, the enforcement may be clumsy or malicious, inviting further legal challenges.
