this is all resolved very elegantly by the bona fide qualification in mandel. when the constitutional role that we are told to apply by cases like this -- mandel allows for a purpose inquiry under the bona fide formulation has construed in the controlling concurrence. what is wrong with my elegant solution? >> mandel has always been thought to apply to constitutional challenges, the of elite oftry elite at the border where no constitutional rights. there are some aliens that have some rights under the statute of the constitution. we no longer think that it is just mandel. it can be something more. we are not saying the constitution doesn't apply. we are saying it applies under mandel. president is operating at the height of his power. it doesn't get anything more. >> i thought that the through line was -- it is neither the president nor congress that can do it because of some negative part of the constitution. it is not a youngstown question at all. i don't understand what it means to say that word. no one is arguing about this. >> it is saying that where the p

it is bona fide. at least under your standing, because you are saying if somebody else had issued this order, it would be all right. mr. jadwat: your honor, to come back to the hypothetical i was trying to play out they could , point to probably some determination made by previous administration if in fact terrorist attacks had happened in israel and that terrorists had infiltrated the country. there is a whole list of countries in that state department report. again, many of which are non-muslim countries that have some history of terrorism and some concern about them being safe havens. but that is all. in the government of you -- view, they did not even have to do that. all they had to say was i'm , doing this for national security reasons. i have good national security itsons, and that was notwithstanding and without , regard to how clear this was. how clear the effort to denigrate a religion might have been. and that really would essentially say that as far as the president goes, the establishment

it is bona fide. at least under your standard , because you are saying if somebody else issued this order it would be alright. >> to come back to the hypothetical i was trying to play out. they could point to some determination made by previous administrations that terrorist attacks had happened in israel and that terrorists had infiltrated the country. there is a whole list of countries in that state department report. many are non-muslim countries that have some history of terrorism and some concern about them being safe havens. in the government's view they didn't have to do that, all they had to say was i'm doing this for national security reasons. i have good national security reasons, that is it. notwithstanding and without regard to how clear this was. how clear the effort to denigrate a religion might have been. that was say as far as the present goes, it would establish clause of the meeting. establish the clause has no meaning. >> do you want to start with the hypothetical? >> i think that i

it requires facial legitimacy and a bona fide reason. the court goes on to say that you don't look behind. when counsel says what other president could have done this, i think he's conceding that it survives rational basis review. them are all bound to the statements, and even if you ,isagree with all the arguments they are just not enough your to overcome a former national security judgment of the president. >> you were about to answer my earlier question. does areree john seeking immigrant pieces. paul harrison was seeking a nonimmigrant visa but only john claim. still has a live >> the individual seeking the nonimmigrant visa, with that one of the for the district court found had standing? court did nott rely on the for two with paul harrison. k-1spouse had received his visa so the district court did not rely on paul harrison. does.ied on the three it will be years before comes in wife has gotten a visa that says she can travel. i think the court has to narrow the injunction to the alleged .njuries of john doe one you have a global in

that would be facially legitimate and bona fide. this order would be facially legitimate and bona fide on the government's reading because they read out the prong and facially legitimate could have no actual searching analysis behind it. >> well, but the face of the order has much more on than that, right? justification for the countries set out? >> this is one country and justification. not very different. that's one paragraph for each country. three lines maybe. in this order. and they say essentially the same thing. there are terrorists in this country. there's problems in this country. that's enough on the government's theory. >> hopefully, in fact, it was the predecessor administration that made that determination. isn't that right? >> no, your honor. the predecessor administration made the determination that vetting dual nationals who would otherwise get in without a visa, through the visa process is sufficient to address any national security concerns about dual nationals. >> so this is not something of this current administr

what we would say is the question is bona fide. it is rational basis review. the question you ask was was irrational for the president to decide i want a 90 day pause to look at these procedures. are framedarguments in that context, was this an irrational judgment. no reasonable government official could have made this judgment. most of them, they are framing under far more stringent standard. >> how did bona fide get collapsed into rational basis? it seems to me the formulation talks about what is the facial rationale, also is a bona fide. it will be an interesting debate to have about what bona fide means, except for what mandel said and what it did. after it said -- statement,e a public an official statement, on the record that called into question the purported rationale for the decision? mr. well: two quick things on that. the court said courts will not look behind as long as it is facially legitimate and bona fide what the court meant by bona fide meant bears relationship not motivation, but yes, there was. if the marshall said court will take just the b

quote, when the executive exercise immigration authority on the basis of a facially legitimate and bona fide reason, the court also not look beyond that. apply that this standard governs judicial review executive exercises of immigration authority. in fact, the mandel standard applies only to issue or deny individual visa. present case is not about that application of a specifically enumerated. >> you read a little bit more into the case than i did. >> i'm just reading to you -- >> they didn't really decide those questions. >> they certainly decided on due process. i'm not saying that they reached the establishment cause and found a violation. i am saying, however, for purposes of handel, the government came before this court in washington versus trump and said the standard that governs all of this case is facially neutral and bona fide. this court recited that standard back to them and said it doesn't apply. that is a square holding of this court. if i could, i would like to start with judge headachins' question about the establishment clause. you asked my friend, mr. wall, has the presiden

exception -- bona fide -- is enough to rule in our favor, from the injunction in this case. the reason for that is this court in cardenas says -- as bad faith and affirmative showing in bad faith, the mental standard is bad. actions are unconstitutional. >> we don't consider the campaign statement, do you? >> absolutely. think there's bad faith past that. think he rekindled her statements, but beyond that, all the things that happened afterwards including leaving on the website, including i want to go back to the first thin, including in the first question -- all those things, what he said at the brick -- christian broadcast network on january 27. they said oh, you should give more deference to the president than a in official. in general it may be true -- but are found founders were very worried about the possibility that one man could establish a religion, certainly -- any individual who comes their office will not be able to establish a disfavored religion such as islam, it's only something like -- states are much higher when you're dealing with the president. gets anyt t

the government sites mandel that when the executive site immigration authority on the basis of a bona fide reason, the courts will not look behind that. this standard governs judicial review of all executive exercises of immigration authority. isfact, the mandel standard only to a visa. it is not specifically enumerated congressional policy. >> you read a little more into the case what i did. reading to you. >> i understand that, but they did not decide those questions. they decided based on due process. >> they reach the establishment cause and found a violation. for purposes of mandel, the government came before this court and said the standard that governs all of this case is neutral and bona fide. the court recited the standard back to them and said it does not apply. that is a square holding of this court. if i could, i would like to start with judge hawkins question about the establishment clause. you asked my president, has the president ever disavowed all of these statements, and i thought his answer was surprising that she could not point to any disavowal. masse amicusd en brief.

case from a number of years back in which the court said, if the president has a legitimate and bona fideon for his or her decision about how to permit or disallow the entry of aliens into this country, that's it, that's sufficient, and the government's lawyer said that there is a legitimate and bona fide reason here, national security, and, so, court, your job ends basically there. >> brangham: let's listen. this is judge keannan having a discussion with jeffery wall in the trump strainchts what in the next of executive order number two supports the conclusion these aliens from these countries, these 82 million people, would be detrimental to the interests of the united states? >> i don't think what the president was saying was i know them all to be dangerous. he is saying i'm not certain. what he said is, i find it would be detrimental to little people from countries we know to be dangerous, that have deteriorated over time, until i have had a chance working with my cabinet officials to assess the vetting procedures for those countries. he said it would be detriment knoll the face offun

is it a legitimate purpose on its face and it bona fide? does it -- in number of cases national basis review. the benefit of that standard as the court recognized in mandel, judge gould, is that it doesn't call on courts to make these sorts of determinations the second guessing of national security determinations, that they're sort of ill equipped to do. the flip side, of course, is what the plaintiffs won in the washington case. they've asked for up to a year of discovery and up to 30 depositions of white house officials to find out what was in the heads and the motives of people framing this eo. subject, as judge paez said, the narrow bad faith in den. you would need official capacity statements that were unequivocal post inauguration to show that the president and members of his cabinet were acting in bad faith. i just don't think they could make that kind of remarkable showing here. >> let me ask the same question that my friend, robert king, asked you a week ago. has the president ever disavowed his campaign statements? has he ever sto

have heard privately from the german political circles is that you really cannot expect any sort of bona fideitiatives before the german election, which is happening in september. i askonight ask -- can 'sether mr. schulz pro-european stance he brought back from brussels, how big an is? scary start you get a sense of the german people seeing that are the problem, or do they just take it for granted? tony: it is more the latter. mean, wehat, i personally, from having watched this for some years, when i would say is that merkel herself has portrayed herself and in many ways has been very pro-european because it is kind of a given for germany. germany works best when europe does well. that is the line you always hear from her plan in many ways, that is true, because of its economic power and the need for a "strong europe" surrounding it. i think that has not been schulz's biggest problem with the voters. i think it is more a matter of trying to make his voice heard and trying to set himself apart his merkel on a topic of choosing more or less and that does not seem to have worked very well so fa

three democratic commissioners vote to find that an independent filmmaker, a bona fide documentary filmmaker who has nearly 20 films to his credit, violated the law by making a documentary film and distributing it to viewers. third flash point in the debate is the meets and bounds and jurisdictional lines of the federal election commission with respect to associational privacy. and this is what you popularly hear termed as the, quote, dark money debate. let me tell you what so-called dark money is and what it's not. and what it's not. because if you read popular press you will believe that our nation's federal elections are awash in dark money flooding the air waves. dark money is spending by groups that do not have the major purpose of being a political committee. we have regulatory jurisdiction over political committees and if you are a political committee you have to register with the federal election commission and you have to report every dime in and every dime out on an ongoing per pech july basis. you have to surrender your associational freedom by disclosing what all of your donors a

. —— bona fides solution.investigations around police forces, particularly the metropolitan police and other government institutions. more broadly, plenty of government departments do use outdated software and systems, so unfortunately, not surprised that still the urgency that needs to be dealt with came across. and in terms of advice to companies to protect themselves, what would you say today, chris? let's start with advice about what they should not be doing. first of all, do not pay the ransom. unless there is a threat to life then payment funds the ransomware colony. microsoft has released patches to this which should be applied as an absolute priority, including taking the very unusual step of releasing patches for windows xp. an secondary to that, there are some relatively straightforward and effective fixes about disabling outdated protocols on it networks which are being exploited by this malware. in addition i would say we need to raise our general awareness of this. my mum and dad are now asking me

the irony is that he came up with a bona fide reason to fire comey, if comey answered those questions it's clearly inappropriate for the fbi director to give those types of assurances. it would be shocking in terms of what we know about james comey if he did. there are all types of protocols separating the fbi from the white house. it's one of the most carefully maintained lines of separation. this would blow all those away. and how the president was treating comey at that dinner, including these claims now that he asked about loyalty is really shocking. you don't treat the fbi director like he's a golden retriever that you put a biscuit on his nose and say are you a good director? and so all of this is just rocking the legal world. >> willie geist, also there are a lot of people that will not remember this in washington right now, but in 1993 there was a scandal that blew up when george stephanopolous and de deddede deddede dede meyers invited someone over to help with a press release. this was where you had underlings at the white house trying to manipulate underlings at the fbi to
