On the individual plaintiff joined with Hawaii in the lawsuit, Wall says there's no standing, no const harm, and/or a losing merits claim.
-
Gould goes right to the central question: How does the court decide if it's a Muslim ban or a legit nat sec issue?
-
Hawkins follows up: Has Trump ever walked back his Muslim ban comments? / Wall says, over time, Trump clarified the statement.
-
Paez: Would the Korematsu order pass muster under your standard? Wall: This is not Korematsu. I would not be standing here if so.
-
Paez pushes back, says the order didn't say Japanese. Wall says he hasn't looked back and read the order specifically.

Here is Roosevelt's order: https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/how-the-wwii-internment-camps-that-virginia-mayor-approves-o?utm_term=.km8Ej6zadQ#.ngAk6qV5JN … Cc: Acting Solicitor General Wallpic.twitter.com/xYlenTLl4t

Next up: Neal Katyal, for Hawaii.
-
Katyal says Trump has never disavowed the Muslim ban comments.
-
Katyal notes Trump's "watered-down version" comments on March 15.
-
Honestly, I've just been a bit off-kilter since Wall said he's not even read FDR's EO that resulted in the WWII internment camps.
-
Gould asks if the injunction can be affirmed on statutory grounds (if not Estab Cl). Katyal says yes.
-
Katyal reads out list of all the amici — faith groups, states, Cato — arguing that this is an Establishment Clause violation.
-
Wall is back up for rebuttal.
-
Wall's defense of Trump's comments at the EO signing: "He makes this six-word offhand comment."
-
Wall, in closing, does note the "overbreadth of the injunction" — hoping, at the least, for a narrowing of the injunction.

This was a temporary 90 day ban. Govt. supposed to take steps in that time allowing ban lifting. Has Govt. done nothing in 90 days? Why not?
