They were detained following President Donald Trump's executive order on Friday that bans legal U.S. residents and visa-holders from seven Muslim-majority nations from entering the U.S. for 90 days and puts an indefinite hold on a program resettling Syrian refugees.

  1. Thanks TPM. I was just about to post the youtube audio.We all should know how much bullshit the government lawyers under a Trump administration will try to dish out in the course of this hearing. So far its like they’re saying, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Regarding who can bring this case related to standing…Trump’s lawyers seem to be saying the state doesn’t have a constitutional vested interest. That’s quite an lame argument I must say.

  2. Judges are hammering the gov’t lawyer who is word salading some of their questions or deflecting.

  3. The judges are asking good questions. It appears that DOJ is trying to argue that the states (Washington and Minn) don’t have standing in this case. The judges are questioning this argument pointedly and heatedly.

  4. States rights for red states not for blue states. No states rights for you.

  5. Mrs. Von Holst lost the live stream.
