That's a dodge that seems to want to have it both ways, neither denying the association nor standing firmly behind it.

It seems the majority wants to have it both ways, reining in lower courts that are—across all political and ideological lines—battling Trump’s lawlessness, and somehow doing so without itself blessing that lawlessness as the administration would like to deploy it against American children of non-citizens.
