Trump is Going to Lose the Birthright Citizenship Case
The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Donald Trump's executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship, a right guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, and his own attorney embarrassed him. Trump attended the session in person, sitting in the public gallery while his solicitor general John Sauer argued before the justices. Sauer had a rough outing, with Chief Justice John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett, and Neil Gorsuch all signaling skepticism. A ruling of at least 6-3 against the executive order appears likely, with Thomas and Alito the only likely dissenters.
