"In addition, I am responsible for ensuring that

the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution’s solemn obligation to

always seek justice and stand for what is right. At present, I am not convinced that the defense of

the Executive Order is consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the

Executive Order is lawful. "
