And this is the kind of statement that we've been waiting for. I mean, this is what the courts should be doing. They should be making it absolutely as clear as possible why this is a violation of, it's not just the law, it's the essence of our constitutional republic.

Those arguments have been around for, as I said, longer than the United States itself. And the rule of law is a very deep part of how the US became prosperous, how we remain a unified republic, how we became one of the leaders in the world, how we came to be widely admired, at least by some people some of the time, how we came to be so influential, why so many people imitated us.
