>      President Trump on Monday derided the revised travel ban as a
>    "watered down" version of the first and criticized his own
>    Justice Department's handling of the case--potentially hurting
>    the administration's defense of the ban as the legal battle
>    over it reaches a critical new stage.  Trump in a tweet called
>    the new ban "politically correct," ignoring that he himself
>    signed the executive order replacing the first ban with a
>    revised version that targeted only six, rather than seven,
>    Muslim-majority countries and blocked the issuance of new
>    visas, rather than revoking current ones.  Trump said the
>    Justice Department should seek a "much tougher version" and
>    made clear -- despite his own press secretary's past remarks
>    to the contrary -- that the executive order is a "ban," not a
>    pause on some sources of immigration or an enhanced vetting
>    system.
