Oral Arguments: State of Washington v Trump - 9th Circuit Appeal - Part 2
Channel: Millennial Monitor
Date: 08/02/2017

The government is asking the San Francisco based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to restore the administration’s executive order, contending that the president alone has the power to decide who can enter or stay in the United States. But Washington and other states have challenged the ban, insisting that Trump’s executive order is unconstitutional. Seattle U.S. District Judge James Robart temporarily blocked Trump’s order last Friday.

Whatever the appeals court decides, either side could ask the Supreme Court to intervene.
