5:13 am
hawaii judge said not only would he not extend the hold but he would not narrow the scope to exclude refugees, that's something the government asked for. it echoes a similar ruling in maryland that has advanced to a different appeals court so they're taking two different tracks on this. the government argued the travel ban banning people from six different countries in the middle east from coming to the united states was a national security issue. but hawaii and maryland and other states argued that it was a muslim ban and that it violated the first amendment. nothing changes, ban still on hold and it's headed back to the same circuit court that said no in the first place. >> all right, a circular route for that case. thank you very much tracie potts. we're talking about things going around. what goes up comes back down but sometimes it goes back up again. >> scott mcgrew , spacex is
