Scott Jennings Says the Government Is "Properly Functioning"

We ought to acknowledge something. This is a properly functioning government today. The President of the United States, the head of the executive branch, made a policy decision. The Supreme Court, that renders legal opinions about these kinds of decisions, made a decision.

They said, you can't do that. The President of the United States said, okay, I agree, and I will acknowledge your decision. I am going to use a different statute to try to do what I want to do. This is properly functioning government.

I'll tell you one more thing. For every Democrat and every media person that has gone on for the last year or two about how the Supreme Court is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Donald Trump, that it's not independent, that it does whatever he says to do,

obviously, that narrative was obliterated today. So, to me, I thought this was actually — I thought the ruling was sound. I think the president is sound to try other statutes. And I think the narratives about the court not being independent and the president not obeying the court

not being independent and the president not obeying the court were totally blown up today.
