The Department of Justice also filed a brief telling the Ninth Circuit of Appeals it didn't need a larger panel of judges to rehear its failed emergency challenge to a lower court's temporary suspension.
"If there was a new order, or if there's a new appeal, we will be looking at it and thinking about what this means for the people of the State of Hawaii and how it affects our values and also whether or not it violates the Constitution", he said... It includes barring the issuance of new visas to people from Iran, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Sudan for 90 days, and suspending the refugee program for 120 days.
A federal judge in Hawaii is hearing arguments on whether to extend his temporary order blocking President Donald Trump's revised travel ban.
President Donald Trump on Thursday made good on his promise to fight for his travel ban, formally notifying a federal court in Hawaii that he will appeal the ruling earlier this month that suspended the ban.
Watson, while putting an indefinite stay on the travel ban, argued that Trump's statements about Muslims during his presidential campaign speak to the constitutionality of the controversial executive order.
Hawaii has meanwhile produced evidence that Trump's order hampers efforts by the University of Hawaii to recruit students and faculty, as well as harm to the tourist industry.
A federal judge in Hawaii on Wednesday placed a stronger hold on President Trump's plan to temporarily suspend immigration from six majority Muslim countries, striking another legal blow against the president's attempts to institute a travel ban.

To clear a 40-man roster spot for Montgomery, the Yankees designated RHP Johnny Barbato for assignment. Gardner crawled to touch first before rolling onto his back, and Weeks remained prone on his chest.
The government argued the ban falls within the president's power to protect national security.
One of the practical implications of Wednesday's decision is that the Justice Department may now immediately appeal the ruling to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, should it choose to do so.
The Justice Department will probably appeal the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco, the same court that upheld the order stopping Trump's original travel order. His ruling came just hours before the federal government planned to start enforcing Trump's executive order.
The Trump administration's wide-ranging initial travel restrictions imposed on January 27 were slapped down by federal courts, after sparking worldwide protests and chaos at USA airports.
The DOJ said it would "continue to defend this executive order in the courts".
This one is likely to go back to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, and an appeal of a Maryland decision is already at the 4th Circuit. "The easy message is to say America is closed to terrorism, but we're wide open to legitimate travelers and we welcome them", said Roger Dow, president and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association.
