My first lobbying meeting! Grateful to Assemblymember Chris Rogers for his time today and to the ACLU for organizing.
We were advocating for AB2122 and AB2669, but of course I squeezed in some personal advocacy against surveillance technology and social media bans.
Florida Mandates Citizenship Proof for Voters; Legal Battles Ensue

#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.”

In the first part of oral arguments, John Sauer, the #Trump admin’s lawyer, faced skeptical questions from key justices, but it wasn’t a rout. In the second part, some of those same justices vigorously probed the position of the #ACLU lawyer, Cecillia Wang. #DoubleStandard
#Kavanaugh asks the ACLU’s lawyer about possible ways of resolving the case & suggests it could be a short opinion if the justices were to uphold Wong Kim Ark & side with the ACLU. 🤞
Chief Justice #JohnRoberts is asking tough questions of both sides. He’s referring to the key 1898 precedent in Wong Kim Ark, which mentions 20X that Wong’s parents were “domiciled” or had permanent residence in the #US. Roberts asks the #ACLU atty if that language can just be dismissed as irrelevant.
Earlier, Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson asked of the #Trump admin atty, “Are we bringing women in for depositions? How are we figuring this out?”
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.
