"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."

#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.”

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.

Many of the arguments in today’s case go back to the Supreme Court’s 1898 ruling in the case of Wong Kim Ark, which said a US born child of Chinese nationals was a citizen.

In that ruling, Justice Horace Gray wrote that #14thAmendment “affirms the ancient & fundamental rule of citizenship by birth within the territory. That, he wrote, is “including all children here born of resident aliens.”

Predictably, #ClarenceThomas sounds most open to the #Trump admin’s position.

Thomas recounts that the aim of the 14th amendment was to make citizens of the freed slaves. “How much of the debates around the 14 Amendment had anything to do with immigration?”

The #BirthrightCitizenship order, which #Trump signed on Jan 20, 2025, the first day of his second term, is part of his #Republican admin’s broad #immigration crackdown.

EVERY lower court that has considered the issue has found the order #illegal & prevented it from taking effect. A definitive ruling by #SCOTUS is expected by early summer.
