Norm Eisen, a former White House ethics counsel and prominent critic of President Donald Trump, has called for restraint following the Supreme Court’s recent decision regarding the administration’s immigration database. On Friday, the high court issued an emergency ruling that allows the Trump administration to move forward with implementing its new immigration data system prior to the midterm elections.
In response to the ruling, Eisen urged the public to avoid an excessive reaction. The decision permits the continued development and deployment of the database despite ongoing legal controversies surrounding its implementation and scope.
Really? The public should just stay calm while they expand a controversial database before the election? Bold take.
Eisen is right to call for calm. The legal process will sort this out regardless of the midterm timing.
