In the same statement, George Conway added that "Kellyanne and I continue to support the President and his Administration, and I look forward to doing so in whatever way I can from outside the government". Trump's administration would then likely to file its own response before the court's nine justices make their decision.
"Whether or not [the Ninth Circuit] agrees or disagrees with what the Fourth Circuit decided, the issue will ultimately end up before the Supreme Court", he predicts.
"Its kinda odd to have the defendant in Hawaii v. Trump acting as our co-counsel".
But on Monday, Trump confirmed on Twitter that it is a ban and "not some politically correct term that won't help us protect our people". He followed up his initial statement with more tweets, making it clear that he not only wants his order to be seen as a travel ban but also wants it implemented in its true spirit. I dedicated an entire chapter in my book Unraveled on presidential commentary from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Barack Obama concerning pending Supreme Court cases. The Justice Department declined to comment. "The president is very focused on exactly what that order spells out, and that's protecting Americans, protecting national security and he has every constitutional authority to do that through that executive order".
Lawyer George Conway, left, tweeted after the president's first round of tweets about the ban Monday morning. Trump also confirmed on the social media platform that the executive order is indeed a travel ban.
Last week, the Justice Department formally asked the Supreme Court to let a ban be put in place. The government has argued that the travel restrictions would apply equally to people of all faiths from the countries subject to the temporary suspension.
"The Justice Dept should have stayed with the original Travel Ban, not the watered down, politically correct version they submitted to (the Supreme Court)", Trump said. In addition to creating possible headaches in court, that misstates the process.

Worse, his legal team has already had a tough time with judges who'd rather look at his campaign rhetoric than the actual executive order. Second, the Justice Department is part of his administration, and its primary function is to defend his policies, not to create policies.
Trump also said the Justice Department should ask for an "expedited hearing" on the second ban and "seek much tougher version!" Trump's most recent defeat came at the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Virginia, which ruled in May that the policy "drips with religious intolerance, animus, and discrimination".
The Trump administration has insisted the executive order is not a Muslim ban, and the president has argued the executive order is necessary to protect national security. Journalists and political critics of the president seem to have read "Muslim ban" into the phrase "travel ban", confusing wishful thinking on their part for legal analysis.
Legal analysts were quick to point out that the president was hurting his own case.
But the following morning, Trump got onto Twitter and said he had an "absolute right" to share information about "terrorism and airline flight safety".
Fifty-two percent (52%) of US voters say the executive order aims to keep out terrorists, not discriminate against Muslims.
