      In speech today, AG Sessions complained about how it took 18 months for SCOTUS to rule on travel ban despite DOJ "efforts to expedite." Factcheck: SCOTUS ruled on third version of the ban. The first ban was abandoned by DOJ. The second expired before the court could rule on it

      In fact, DOJ could have asked for an earlier ruling on the 2nd ban last summer but did not do so. Government didn't ask the court to hear and decide the case immediately, but rather said it could be heard in October 2017 From DOJ court filing:pic.twitter.com/yCCkkIzVaQ

          Replying to @lawrencehurley

          Whatever one thinks about nationwide injunctions (Sessions is among the most hypocritical of the current critics), it took 18 months because of the government's own strategy and tactics, including abandoning the first two versions of the ban after losing:https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/muslim-travel-ban-supreme-court-case-proves-power-judiciary-branch-ncna868736 …
