Trump just lost a big court case because hes a terrible liar
There is a very silly dance underway between the Trump administration and the federal judiciary.
Not long after taking office, President Donald Trump issued his long-bragged-about Muslim Ban, which prohibited nationals of seven Muslim-majority countries from traveling into the United States. Almost immediately, the ban ran into trouble in the federal courts.
The ban has now made several trips through the federal judiciary, including a number of visits to the Supreme Court — with the justices temporarily halting at least some parts of the ban, and then dissolving most of that order for jurisdictional reasons. Meanwhile, the Trump administration made two rounds of tweaks to the ban, at times explicitly admitting that these tweaks are intended solely to increase the likelihood that the ban will survive in court.
After the first round of tweaks, for example, Trump described the second version of the Muslim Ban as a “watered down version of the first one” that was crafted “by lawyers in response to prior legal challenges.” He also said that his preference was that “we ought to go back to the first one and go all the way, which is what I wanted to do in the first place.”
