Donald Trump abruptly exited the Supreme Court on Wednesday after some of his own conservative justices did not appear convinced by his bid to upend birthright citizenship in America.
Trump made the unprecedented decision to sit in on oral arguments, staring down the court’s nine justices as they quizzed his lawyers on one of the most consequential constitutional questions they face this year: whether all children born in the United States can continue to automatically receive citizenship.
But after less than 90 minutes of watching several of his own handpicked justices tear his arguments apart, the president abruptly left.
He walked slowly and hunched over? Doubt it was “storming.”

Wouldn’t this cancel citizenship for everybody?

I considered driving into DC to try and gain entry, but I know this was very unlikely, so I avoided it. Love hearing this update, and this only makes me wish I had been there.

Trump stayed in one place for a full 90 minutes before randomly wandering off?
I’m skeptical he could last that long.

He likely didn’t/couldnt understand the big words and it was making him sleepy. So he went home to nap.

Storms? This fat, geriatric fuck can barely waddle out of a room under his own power.

If they’re consistently annoyed by legal rulings, perhaps they should do things legally.
Or, use their majority in congress to change the laws.
Too sensible?

Let’s be honest. He shit himself. He isn’t smart enough to recognize that he is being humiliated. But he can recognize the smell.

No he didn’t storm off because conservative justices didn’t seem open to his sides argument.
He stormed off because no one told him there wouldn’t be cameras but would be big boy words.
Hes doesn’t actually yet understand the conservatives aren’t buying the argument.

I don’t care about Trump or his childish behaviors anymore. What I care about is that these conservative justices see that they are enabling and are complicit. The Trump stain should be all over them forever in disgrace.

He should try reading the Constitution sometime. Our Republican lawmakers should as well. Lots of good stuff in there.

If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the Trump Administration, that would give them the power to revoke the legal status of any immigrant group they wanted to target and then also revoke the citizenship of their children born here. That is so unbelievably dangerous and alarming I’m still absolutely livid that they’re even entertaining this case!!!

What a Mobster. It’s what he knows.
Thanks MAGA Joe, Bob, and Ken for thrusting Trump on us a second time. I guess “they’re eating cats and dogs” was the winning moment for you.

Let’s not kid ourselves. He understood NOTHING about what the justices were talking about, he got bored and walked out

Real exchange:
Solicitor general: “It’s a new world.”
John Roberts: “It’s a new world. It’s the same Constitution.”

I read the first few minutes of the transcript and am 100% confident he has NO idea what was being said.
“The ***former president***, who believes that the Constitution does not guarantee automatic citizenship to all individuals born on U.S. soil, sat silently as justices—including several of his own appointees—openly questioned the legal foundation of his claims.”

He says we’re the only country in the world to allow birthright citizenship? That’s really going to come as a surprise to:

“storms out” is a stretch. At this point he only shuffles
Careless_Guitar_463 on
This is probably the one of the most consequential hinge points in this country’s history even if people don’t realize it. Coupled with American decline in the world, choosing to push immigrants away so forcefully from the metropole’s hoarded wealth would set the tone for the rest of the century. A country withdrawing into its shell, with its tail between its legs, choosing nativism. I really hope that everybody in this comment section is correct and that they leave that amendment alone.

At one point, the article refers to him as the former president. I liked that, but doesn’t inspire confidence in the Daily Beast

If the justices allow this, then any president can write up an executive order so they can get it before the Supreme Court to change the constitution. This is like bypassing every lower court and precedent that we have.

Can’t be humiliated if you have no humility in the first place.
scriptfoo on
I still do not trust SCOTUS to rule in agreement with the plain language of the amendment, even if today’s arguments indicate as much. The majority has proven that originalism and “major questions” give them enough cover to screw democracy, science and established case law to give power to their benefactors.

“We’re in a new world now,” Sauer said, noting that “some 8 billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who’s a U.S. citizen.”
“It’s a new world, but it’s the same constitution,” Roberts said in response.
That goes hard

>Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was also appointed by Trump, added to the pressure Sauer faced, asking the seasoned attorney: “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.”
HOLY SHIT. This shows you how absolutely unpaired Trump’s team was for making these asinine arguments.
