Alan Dershowitz (a very liberal professor of Constitutional Law at Harvard) just schooled Jones on the Constitution and Trump's temporary ban. Dershowitz's point based on Jones' argument that what Trump said during the campaign makes the temporary ban unconstitutional, means that the ban would be Constitutional if written by Obama (who did not use similar campaign rhetoric) but Unconstitutional if written by Trump.

Van Jones apparently does not know that statutes and the words of the Constitution drive law or should drive law, not campaign rhetoric. Van Jones is making an absurd argument.
