WASHINGTON (AP) — People spoke in whispers and craned their necks Wednesday to watch as President Donald Trump broke with all sitting presidents before him and took a seat in the front row of the chamber’s public seating area to hear a Supreme Court argument. He sat there silently with his hands in his lap.

A man accustomed to the camera and the center of attention instead was a mute spectator, and the justices gave no acknowledgment of his presence. Still, it was a previously unheard-of flex of presidential power and prerogative.

He brought with him Attorney General Pam Bondi and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to hear his administration’s defense of his executive order to overturn the constitutional and statutory protection of birthright citizenship.

For the next hour and a half, Trump listened as the justices — liberal and conservative — peppered the administration’s lawyer with questions. Several of them, including three whom he nominated to the court, cast doubt on his planned restrictions on birthright citizenship.

During the opposing party’s arguments, Trump got up and left. And an hour after that, the president posted on social media: “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!”

i'm certain he thinks that's a good legal argument, he's brought up equally irrelevant shit repeatedly on other cases as well

(also it is entirely false... & even if true, would have zero value as a legal argument, in case anyone here is as close to as dumb as he is...)

You have birthright citizenship. You may also qualify as the offspring of American citizens who in turn had birthright citizenship, but may also have been the offspring of American citizens...until we reach foreigners born abroad who came to the US without much of anything and who probably belonged to wierd religious sects.
