major garrett is at the white house. major, good morning. >> reporter good morning. there is one time-honored washington tradition the trump administration is now following, cabinet secretaries take the blame for problems created by the us who. that's what happened yesterday with the president's travel ban executive order. >> it's really incredible to me that we have a court case going on so long. >> reporter: in an address this morning, president trump appeared annoyed with the legal challenges to his executive order. >> courts seem to be so political, and it would be so great for our justice system if they would be able to read a statement and do what's right. >> reporter: testifying on capitol hill yesterday, homeland security secretary john kelly

major garrett is at the white house tracking the fallout. >> good morning. if there is a silver lining for the white house and legally speaking it's hard to find, it's that congressional democrats may be sensing the overall politics of this work to the president's advantage. that's why they're talking more openly than before about a legislative fix they might be able to take some credit for. shortly after the ruling, president trump told reporters off camera the legal fight is far from over. >> it's a political decision and we're going to see them in court. >> reporter: the president stood by claims that the travel ban contained in the action is america's best defense against terrorism. >> we have a situation where the

good morning, garrett. heather: good morning. >> we just start out by saying it's very unusual for a president to weigh in publicly on court case that is deal with own agenda. president trump is anything but traditional and repeatedly shown he has no problem going after judges who disagree with him and yesterday at a gathering of sheriffs from across the country, the judge layed on the three-court panel which temporarily bans immigration from 7 predominantly muslim countries. mr. called what he heard from those judges disgraceful. >> i don't ever want to call a court biased so i won't call it bias and we haven't had a decision yet but courts seem to be so political. the entry of aliens, it's not like, again, a bad high school student would understand this. anybody would understand this. >> and the president's renewed attacks draw plenty of criticism many from democrats, those attacks will weigh into the confirmation of mr. trump's nominee judge gorsuch and gorsuch is not a fan of the language towards judges

garrett, thank you. arthel: okay, we now know that president trump is weighing all options after his travel ban of halted in federal court. but what does it mean for the white house to be hit with this early legal setback? nils standish is here, white house columnist for the hill. we just heard reporting that the president is considering issuing i want to talk to you about early reports of what that entails apart from new security measureses and is the focus still on the american people, the safety of the american people, or is the strategy to merely win the case? mr. trump doesn't like to lose. >> i think, certainly, president trump would cast it very much as the safety of the american people. but if a new order is issued -- and that's still a significant if -- i think what we will see will be a more narrowly cast order so that, for example, some of the confusion that that surrounded green card holders in this instance will be cleared away. there's some suggestion that there could even be a change to th

abby: thank you, garrett. mainstream media calling the president unhinged after he took on the media on press conference. our own chris wallace explains why he was anything but. >> he wasn't unhinged. i think that this was a determined effort by this president who is by far the best spokesman in his administration for his administration to cease the narrative. there's chaos, you have john mccain talking about there's disarray in the white house, there have been real problems, it's not just narrative. i'm in charge, i know what i'm doing. i'm not going to bend to washington, washington is going to have to get use today me. abby: what did you think about the president's press conference, log onto "fox & friends first" facebook page right after the show for a live debate with the #keep talking. heather: thanks, but no thanks. the president turned down the job while the senate is pulling an all-nighter, you're looking at a live scene from the senate floor, they are worked to approve a new head with the epa. live.

heather: good morning, garrett. >> good morning. this could end up being the most contentious of all of president trump's confirmation. president trump said he's living out to nominate someone who loves and respects the constitution and with the looming battle in mind that's ahead he pointed out that judge grosuch was appointed to the tenth circuit court of appeals. >> the qualifications of judge gorsuch is beyond dispute. it's what our country needs badly to ensure the rule of law and the rule of justice. >> as this process now moves to the senate i look forward to speaking with members from both sides of the aisle. >> even before the pick was announced and democrats were vow to go fight it and last night more confirmation of battle would be a long one. >> a hostile appointment, well fellow, well family, i'm sure. as far as your family is concerned, in any way interact with the courts, this is a very bad decision, well outside the mainstream of american legal thought, not committed to supreme court precedence. >> republicans are pr

hey garrett. >> to put it simply the president did not appreciate the judge that overruled. all you need to do is take a look at his twitter feed to tell. throughout the day he's been criticizing the judge who overturned the order and he started this morning saying the opinion of the so-called judge which potentially takes law enforcement away from our country is ridiculous and will be overturned. this afternoon the president warned our national security could be put at risk as a result of this decision tweeting because the ban was lifted by a judge many very bad and dangerous people may come into our country, terrible decision. democrats were quick to respond to the presence decision. senate minority leader chuck schumer indicating the comments will factor into the confirmation process of the president supreme court nominee. his statement reads in part with each action testing the constitution and its personal attack on a judge president trump raises the bar even higher for judge gorsuch nomination to serve on the supreme court. his ability to be an intended check will be f
