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.

Show Notes
Hawk breaks down a clip from Steve Bannon's War Room featuring MAGA attorney Mike Davis, who repeatedly misrepresents what was actually before the court, falsely framing the case as being about undocumented immigrants and Chinese birth tourists rather than the actual constitutional question. Davis, who clerked for Neil Gorsuch and helped confirm both Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, is called out for being deliberately misleading to his audience despite clearly knowing better.
The 14th Amendment states plainly that anyone born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction is a citizen. No executive order can override that language. Meanwhile, Trump's gold citizenship cards, selling U.S. citizenship for $5 million, highlight the selective and racially motivated nature of his immigration agenda.
