MSNBC's Scarborough: Court's Ruling on Trump Ban 'Laughable'The Ninth Circuit appeals court's decision on President Donald Trump's travel ban was "laughable" as there was no "specific person with a specific injury" involved, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said Friday.
"They ignored the ruling law," the "Morning Joe" anchor said on his show. "They just as a matter of course gave the state of Washington standings. There's no specific person with a specific injury that is specifically going to be addressed by this action, which usually is how you get standings. The Ninth decided not to last night."
Further, said Scarborough, the decision "radically extended the rights beyond mere green card holders and did something the Supreme Court has never done and extended this to potentially possible new claims for immigrants."
The court's three judges also did not talk about the statute that gives a president power to pass an executive order on immigration, said Scarborough, which is "what you examine to see if he has gone beyond the boundaries."
This, he said, "would be like the court taking a free speech case and not talking about the First Amendment. It was preposterous."
