On Monday, NBC Today co-host Matt Lauer provided Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson a nationally televised platform to tout his fight against President Trump’s immigration order temporarily restricting immigration from seven Middle Eastern countries. Without challenge, Lauer allowed the Democratic politician to accuse Trump of having “violated the Constitution in very fundamental ways.”

Starting off the softball exchange, Lauer wondered: “I know you argued this on several fronts. You talked about the broad Constitutional principles involved. But you also made a more local case for this, saying that this order would have an adverse impact on the state of Washington. Which sides of the argument, or side of the argument, do you think had the most impact with the judge?”
