SCOTUS Travel Ban Ruling is “Why Campaigns Matter” - Lawless on LIVE
Wednesday, June 27, 2018
American University -- and soon to be University of Virginia Professor of Political Science -- Jennifer Lawless spoke to the U.S. Supreme Court upholding the Trump Administration travel ban this week.
"It was one of those things -- how Anthony Kennedy, the swing justice, was going to go," said Lawless. "What we see here is a big victory for Presidential power."
"What's interesting here -- it's clear that campaigns matter, with Neil Gorsuch being a deciding vote, that if Hilary Clinton had won -- not only would she have not have put the ban in place, she wouldn't have picked a judge who supported it," said Lawless.
