Democratic congressman: Congress must overturn the Supreme Court's travel ban ruling

Rep. Don Beyer, a Democrat from Virginia, urged Congress to act and overturn the Supreme Court's ruling to uphold President Trump's travel ban.

"Congress has to act," he said. "We have to overturn what the Supreme Court has done. We cannot let this stand."

Beyer called the ban "racist" and "immoral," adding that the court's decision today was "disappointing and it’s wrong."

"And if the Supreme Court’s going to do this, it’s up to Congress to pass the Freedom of Religion (Restoration) Act, which will ban any law which will prohibit people from coming to this country because of their religious views," he said.
