That's not how laws and executive orders work? The text of the order matters, not some opinion of some admin official

That's why, typically, this would have been reviewed and planned.

I am not trying to defend it, but I understand the issue was that the order was unclear.

That's the thing; the order was not unclear. It very clear said what it said.

The general public's opinion that it was grossly unjustified and most likely going to be rolled back does not change how clear the initial order was.

The fact that virtually every immigration attorney and firm was on the same page about it goes to show how clear it actually was.

All I'm saying is that the text of the order matters, nothing else.

I would love to be wrong on that though...
