      Purcell is saying the case should go back to dist ct to allow a full opinion, which could then be appealed.

      Purcell raises the statutory claim — noting that would avoid constitutional issue. (1152) / Canby notes that would only address visa issue.

      Purcell: 1182 has exceptions — but not an above-the-board treatment like in this EO. ... The court can review, should review this order.
