(CNSNews.com) - "So frustrating." That's how Vice President Mike Pence described the Friday's ruling by a federal judge in Washington, who granted a temporary restraining order blocking President Trump's executive order on immigration.
A federal appeals court in San Francisco later refused an administration request to reinstate the temporary restrictions on travel from seven nations prone to terrorism.
On Sunday, Pence told "Fox News Sunday" "We don't appoint judges to our district courts to conduct foreign policy or to make decisions about the national security. Under statutory law and under the Constitution, that authority belongs to the president of the United States.
"And while the (appeals) court did not impose a stay of that order at this point, we're going to move very quickly into the merits of this argument. And as the president said, we are going to win the arguments because we're going to take the steps necessary to protect the country, which the president of the United States has the authority to do."
