Sen. Kennedy: If Trump Defies a Federal Judge Order, ‘I’ll Call Him Out on It’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
WELKER: “The president could simply have asked for it back, and he may have brought him, but let me ask you about something you said.”

Kennedy: “How do you know he hasn’t? Kristen, how do you know he hasn’t?”

WELKER: “He said he doesn’t plan to. I’m basing this off his public comment. The president said he doesn’t plan to. This was a couple of months ago during his confirmation hearing in front of DoJ officials. I’ll take your answer on the other side.”

Kennedy: “Don’t ever, ever take the position that you’re not going to follow the order of a federal court. All our judiciary has, equal Branch of government has legitimacy, it doesn’t have an army. Don’t ever say you’re not going to follow the order of the court.”

WELKER: “Do you believe that President Trump is following the orders of the courts right now?”

Kennedy: “Yes. And I don’t believe that President Trump will defy a federal judge, if he does, I’ll call him out on it. I believe what I said in the clip. I love the rule of law. I love it like the devil loves sand. I think if we start not following a federal judicial orders we undermine the system entirely. That doesn’t mean you can’t criticism. You can criticize him. You can appeal them, but you cannot chz to not follow them and I haven’t seen President Trump do that, any if he does I’ll say very loudly and clearly that I think he’s wrong.”
