President Donald Trump said Tuesday that “hopefully” his executive order barring travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries will not go before the Supreme Court. He defended the controversial ban as a matter of “common sense.”
“We’ll see what happens,” Trump told reporters at a meeting with county sheriffs. “We have a big court case. We’re well-represented, and we’re going to see what happens.”
“Is it going to go to the Supreme Court, do you think?” a reporter asked.
“Could. I mean, we’ll see. Hopefully it doesn’t have to. It’s common sense,” Trump replied. “You know, some things are law, and I’m all in favor of that, and some things are common sense. This is common sense.”
