---The Supreme Court’s 5-to−4 decision to uphold President Trump’s travel ban Tuesday shed critical light on an increasingly important question to civil society: What is the legal value of a presidential tweet?
Trump’s tweets on the travel ban played a key role in the case as opponents sought to cast the White House policy as anti-Muslim.
