Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was also appointed by Trump, added to the pressure Sauer faced, asking the seasoned Solicitor General: “Do you think Native Americans are birthright citizens under your test?”

“Ah, I think... so,” he replied, somewhat unconvincingly. “I’ll have to think that through.”

Is that literally the first time he's thought about that?

A space launch and the Supreme Court doing its job?

It's like america has a functioning government!!

/s

Gorsuch asked if Native Americans would be considered birthright citizens, and the MAGA lawyer said he'd "have to give it some thought."

Shouldn't he have done that BEFORE appearing in front of SCOTUS?

Roberts replied: “It’s a new world. It’s the same Constitution.”

There's the Chief I know. Originalist in the streets, textualist in the sheets.

FYI: About 35 countries have birthright citizenship, mostly on the American continent. Over 150 countries have citizenship by descent.

Alito sounded like a completely obtuse nincomcoop today. You don’t need to be a constitutional lawyer to see how full of shit the conservatives are.

For some reason I can't imagine Trump without a full diaper anymore. When I see the news that he went to SCOTUS hearing I'm thinking "and he was sitting there in a full diaper?". I'm reading that he stormed out and I'm thinking "he can walk with a full diaper? what's that like?". Full diaper is now integral part of his image for me, can't help it.

And Chief Justice John Roberts, another conservative on the bench, also had something of a mic-drop moment when Sauer tried to make the point that “we’re in a new world where eight billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who’s a U.S citizen.”

Roberts replied: “It’s a new world. It’s the same Constitution.”

I expect this is where they pivot next. What does it take to amend the American constitution? Or what does it take to make a new one, given that they will try to justify that an old document does not fit the modern world

He had a poopy diaper and he needed someone to wipe his pedo bum

Trump has never once felt humiliated in his life.

"Humiliated" "storms out" - this is some tabloidly language.

This calls for a return to form. Happy YDAU everyone.

I wonder if he did harm by being there.

more like trump storms out to create a gaffe at distracting the media from epstein. it happens everytime epstein starts rearing its head, or when something he did was too severe for the media to ignore.

Humiliation? Like he's capable of it. He tweeted they were dumb as he left. As far as he's concerned, he won.

If they'd cancelled it, would that be retroactiv? Revoking the citizenship of every US American not of native heritage would be one hell of a move.

"We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow “Birthright”...

Don't most countries allow birthright citizenship?

Waiting for inevitable EO that says after talking to some of the "greatest legal minds" (no doubt just his own reflection) it has been determined that he "has the absolute right" to dissolve/suspend SCOTUS if they're going to stand in the way of him enforcing the law. Cue him using the military to shutdown the building and prevent SCOTUS from convening and Mike Johnson will just shrug and say something like "Well, they knew what would happen. It's not our job to save their branch of gov't" when questioned on why Congress won't impeach.
