I say we're a nation of laws, Anderson, right? And I understand that sentiment, but things have to be done in accordance with our Constitution. That is the bottom line. And it is central to who we are as a people. And the president simply did not meet that obligation, which is central to his responsibilities.
Ferguson emphasizes the importance of adhering to the Constitution and holds the president accountable for not meeting his obligations.

It is my expectation that the president in this administration will follow what Judge Robart ruled today.
Oh, I'm prepared, David, for this case to go all the way to the Supreme Court, whichever way the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals goes. It's a case of that magnitude.
The whole executive order itself was put together in such -- I mean, it was Keystone Cops the way that was put together.
I hope that the President and his administration is taking away a very hard-earned lesson from this experience, which is, if you're going to draft an executive order, do it with care, do it with scrutiny, and make sure it's constitutional.
