Republicans to the Court: Strike Down the Travel Ban
In an opinion piece for The New York Times, Thomas H. Kean, Carter Phillips, and John Danforth write that the Trump administration’s travel ban threatens the Constitution and the separation of powers. Danforth is a former senator and the namesake of the Danforth Center on Religion and Politics, which publishes this journal; he is also a member of the center’s National Advisory Board. Together with Kean and Phillips, he writes, “All presidents push the limits of the separation of powers between the executive, legislative and judicial branches. President Trump’s travel ban tears the fabric.”
