"It is dangerous and wildly wrong for a U.S. President to attend oral argument in a Supreme Court case."

It's typical #DonaldTrump #StochasticTerrorism

"I'm here, I know who you are, and I'm going to watch what you do and say very closely. Don't think for one second that I don't know exactly where you live. Or that my supporters don't know exactly where you live."

Sauer, the admi’s lawyer, had a few minutes for rebuttal.

The justices heard arguments for more than two hours. #Trump left just over an hour into the session, after his lawyer wrapped up.

The argument is over. The justices will meet shortly to cast their tentative votes. The decision is likely to land in late June or early July.

#ACLU atty Wang said that the legal focus should be on the newborn: “The question that the #14thAmendment asks is whether the #US born #child is subject to US jurisdiction when they’re born.”

The #14thAmendment says people “born or naturalized in the United States & subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”

The #Trump admin has long focused on the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” saying that excludes parents living illegally in the #US.

But Wang went directly at that argument Wednesday.

If this case sounds familiar, that’s because because #SCOTUS has already ruled on one aspect of litigation over Trump’s executive order ending the guarantee of #BirthrightCitizenship.

But importantly, that case did not test the constitutionality of the order itself, as the one the justices are hearing Wednesday will. Essentially they passed the buck.

After more than an hour of arguments from the #Trump admin [Trump left as defense began], Cecillia Wang, a lawyer with the #ACLU, is presenting arguments on behalf of a class of people challenging the #ExecutiveOrder curtailing #BirthrightCitizenship. She is a birthright citizen herself.
