SHOCKING: Trump Storms Out of Supreme Court After His Own Justices Destroy His Birthright Citizenship Argument
Donald Trump made an extraordinary and unprecedented move Wednesday, personally showing up to sit in on oral arguments at the Supreme Court as his administration pressed its case to eliminate birthright citizenship in America. He sat in the chamber and stared down the nine justices as they grilled his legal team on one of the most constitutionally significant questions of the year.
It did not go the way he planned.
Several of the conservative justices Trump himself put on the bench appeared deeply skeptical of the administration’s legal position, peppering his lawyers with tough questions and showing little sign they were ready to hand him the sweeping ruling he wanted.
After less than an hour and a half, Trump got up and walked out.
The move was as telling as it was dramatic. A president who flew to Washington to personally intimidate the court couldn’t even stick around long enough to hear the full argument. His own picks were doing the dismantling.
The case centers on whether children born on American soil are automatically entitled to citizenship under the 14th Amendment, a right that has been recognized for over 150 years.
