At 10:05 PM Eastern this evening, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer emailed out the following statement in response to tonight's court order.

At the earliest possible time, the Department of Justice intends to file an emergency stay of this outrageous order and defend the executive order of the President, which we believe is lawful and appropriate. The president’s order is intended to protect the homeland and he has the constitutional authority and responsibility to protect the American people.

As the law states, "Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate."

At 10:16 PM, he issued an "Updated Statement" which removed the word "outrageous" from the first sentence.

2. Spicer lacks the temperament for the job of press secretary.

He is a man given to emotional reaction. He is unable to cope with confrontation, causing him to resort to high pitched whining and gratuitous lying.

11. What happens when you let political hacks write executive orders with no thought to little things

like the freaking CONSTITUTION. This is problem with people who hate government running the government. Their arrogance as their downfall is always so predictable.
