“越来越明显的是，对于我们的总统来说，法治只是他实现政策目标的障碍。在他看来，无论是为了政治利益还是个人利益，法治都是可以绕开或干脆忽视的东西，”美国地区法官约翰·库格努尔 (John Coughenour) 在宣布裁决时表示。
“我两周前就说过了，今天我还要再说一遍：在世界历史上的某些时刻，人们回顾过去会问，‘律师在哪里，法官在哪里？’在这些时刻，法治变得特别脆弱。今天我拒绝让灯塔熄灭。”法官说道。
“It has become ever more apparent that, to our president, the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals. The rule of law is, according to him, something to navigate around or simply ignore, whether that be for political or personal gain,” U.S. District Judge John Coughenour said as he announced his ruling.
“I said this two weeks ago, and I’ll say it again today: There are moments in the world’s history when people look back and ask, ‘Where were the lawyers, where were the judges?’ In these moments, the rule of law becomes especially vulnerable. I refuse to let that beacon go dark today,” the judge said.
