They had an opportunity to review and look at the legality of the ban. They didn't involve themselves, and apparently the military didn't involve themselves. So who was it that dreamed up this ban on men, women, children, refugees coming from seven countries? None of the residents and refugees from those countries in the last 40 years has been responsible for one terrorist death in the United States. But those countries from which we know the terrorists came, from 9/11, were not included. Saudi Arabia, not included in the ban. How is that, if we are worried about this problem of refugees who are citizens from those countries coming into the United States to carry out terrorist acts? Why didn't you look at Saudi Arabia? That is where most of the 9/11 folks came from.
