this president and administration. i was disappointed in president obama, while i agreed with him on a lot of criminal justice reform, we didn't get it done and there have been descriptions of president obama of being aloof, they are kind of true, this is sausage making factory on the hill, you got to mix it up. in some ways, president trump may be more successful because mike pence is here all the time, creature of congress, a creature of state government, but he knows the players and he's not afraid to come up and talk to people. i think that is, you know, you have to have a relationship with people to get things through. >> "washington journal" continues. host: and we are back returning to our conversation earlier with all of you about the ninth circuit court ruling against reinstating the so-called travel ban. the president tweeted out, see you in court, the security of our nation is at stake. tweeting that from his personal account yesterday. and in all caps.

if you're supporting what the president has done with this executive order, 202-748-8000, is your number f. you're opposing the order, 202-748-8001. the "new york times" says that after the decision came out yesterday, the president also spoke to reporters at the white house. adam reports he told them the ruling was "a political decision and predicted his administration would win an appeal nmy opinion easily. he had not yet conferred with jeff sessions on the matter, who was sworn in earlier that day, yesterday. supreme court remains shorthanded and could deadlock 4-4 tie would leave appeals courts ruling in place. we want to know what you think of this and what should be the next move by the president? kathy, you support president trump's executive order in hendersonville north carolina. you're up first, good morning to you, go ahead.

caller: hi. i lived in on the coast of north carolina during 9/11. and there was family there, i don't know what country they were from, i don't know of their religion, they were out celebrating on 9/11. i moved to florida the next year. the same thing happened at the house there. no one bothered them. i mean, the police didn't bother them. freedom of religion. celebrating on 9/11, that people died so many people, i didn't feel comfortable with them being here. host: kathy, because of that, you're saying all muslims should be prohibited from being -- caller: no, i said i did not know what religion they were. i did not know what country they were from. all i knew, they were celebrating. host: okay.

all right. gale in california, also supporting the president on this executive order. good morning. you? i definitely agree with president trump's ban. it is the first foremost responsibility under the constitution for president to make sure that the citizens of his country are safe. and it is in addition, temporary ban until we get a vetting procedure in place. host: gale, how do you respond to the court, the three judges who ruled unanimously saying the government has taken the position that the president's decision about immigration policy particularly when motivated by national security concerns are unreviewable, even if the actions potentially intervene with protections. no precedent to support this claimed unreviewability, running contrary to structure of the

constitutional democracy? caller: do you want me to speak or are you going to make a speech? host: i'm reading from what the judges had to say, i want your response. caller: the court shoule

io appeals

court to stand and return to the judge who initially blocked trump's plan a week ago. it deals with the temporary restraining order issued by district judge robert on february 3. temporary restraining orders are designed to be brief, generally lasting 14 days. next step would be preliminary

injunction which can remain in place indefinitely. hearing for preliminary injunction is taking place. robard has given both sides until the 17th of this month to file a motion and likely he would schedule a hearing soon after or as we talked about, the president could write a new executive order. armond in salt lake city, you oppose the hoping of refugees and immigrants from seven majority muslim countries, why is that? caller: because first of all, does not have anything for them to come. my comment is about the seven muslim. they comment is with the president. if you disagree with any court, any judgment, you can go to court, you can appeal, you can follow-up. but not right to -- political because we cannot accuse any of

judges making decisions regarding to their politics. if that is the way we are going to run the country, unfortunately, we will not have any decent lawful country. mr. president, you were elected to protect our constitution, you are not there to accuse judges for -- if accusing, i have to accuse you or another one. host: what about the record of the ninth circuit court? senator tom cotton, of arkansas, a republican, he put out a statement saying that no -- this misguided rule suggest from the ninth circuit most left wing court in america and most reverse court of the supreme court. caller: you know, senator cotton, if you want to go there, senator cotton, he himself, couple days ago he had something -- match with all his talk. you know senator cotton looking

to -- the main point is here. we have a law in this country, all of us from president, all the way to the last person in the line. we have to follow this law. we cannot accuse any of our judges, they are doing because we don't like them and their opinion. mr. trump, he has problem with his school and the judge who -- from mexico, this kind of thing damaging democracy. host: i should tell you about the judges. the members of the three-judge panel, judge michelle freedland appointed by barack obama, judge camby appointed by jimmy cart sxer judge richard clifton appointed by george w. bush, came up with the decision that

was rendered last night. what happens next? we have to wait and see. this from the review journal in nevada, story billed to remove that state and five others from "nutty fifth circuit court may be gaining favor," this is what they report. how big is the ninth u.s. circuit court of appeal? san francisco bay represents nine states, including nevada, 20% of the u.s. population and 40% of the nation's land mass, so big cess looked at bills to split the circuit since 1941 and so big none of the measures has succeeded. this year, however, senators
