Solicitor General John Sauer Schools Justice Jackson In Oral Arguments

John Sauer, serving as Solicitor General for the Justice Department, stood before the Supreme Court on Wednesday to present arguments in support of President Trump’s executive order concerning birthright citizenship.

That same morning, the President himself was present during the Court’s oral arguments.

From the reactions on the bench, most of the justices seemed unconvinced by the administration’s effort to eliminate birthright citizenship.

The issue traces back to last year, when President Trump formally petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to bring an end to the practice.

According to CNN, “The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Friday to review the constitutionality of President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, pushing the issue back before the justices for the second time this year.”

In the appeal cited by CNN, DOJ Solicitor General John Sauer argued the lower courts had overstepped, stating, “The lower court’s decisions invalidated a policy of prime importance to the president and his administration in a manner that undermines our border security.” He added, “Those decisions confer, without lawful justification, the privilege of American citizenship on hundreds of thousands of unqualified people.”

Despite the administration’s efforts, multiple federal judges have already stepped in to halt enforcement of President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship.

President Trump’s directive contends that the 14th Amendment has been wrongly interpreted by political opponents to justify granting citizenship to so-called ‘anchor babies.’

The order lays out a clear policy position, stating: “It is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United States citizenship, to persons: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth,” Trump’s order stated.

In framing the argument, the order maintains that the 14th Amendment was never intended to apply to children born to individuals residing in the United States without legal status.

The executive order asserts: “[The] Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Consistent with this understanding, the Congress has further specified through legislation that “a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is a national and citizen of the United States at birth, 8 U.S.C. 1401, generally mirroring the Fourteenth Amendment’s text,” the order stated.

During Wednesday’s proceedings, Solicitor General John Sauer engaged in a pointed exchange with Justice Jackson regarding the issue of individuals in the country unlawfully having children on U.S. soil.

The argument being advanced is that such a policy is not permitted elsewhere and poses a serious threat to the United States.

During the exchange, Justice Jackson questioned how such cases would be handled, asking, “So, are we bringing pregnant women for depositions?” in reference to the practical implications of enforcement.

John Sauer responded by emphasizing that the policy is based on immigration status rather than intent. “No. As I stated earlier, the Executive Order turns on the lawfulness of status. So, if you give birth to a baby in the hospital right now, it gets the birth certificate in the system – there’s a computer system,” Sauer said.

Justice Jackson then pressed further on the issue, raising concerns about whether individuals would have any chance to clarify their circumstances. “So there’s no opportunity, there’s apparently no opportunity then, for the person to prove or say that they actually intended to stay in the United States?” Jackson said.

Sauer pushed back on the concern, stating that safeguards are already in place for those who believe a mistake has been made. “The opposite is true. There are opportunities to dispute if they think they are wrongfully denied, which only happens in a tiny minority of cases,” Sauer said.

Justice Jackson responded by focusing on the timing of that process, questioning whether any remedy would only come later. “After the fact? After the fact? After the baby has been denied citizenship, we go through the process?” Jackson said.

Expanding on his explanation, Sauer described how the system functions in practice, noting that much of it is automated. “And I’m summarizing… The computer program automatically generates a Social Security number…provided the system automatically checks the immigration status of the parents, which there are robust databases for. It appears no different to the vast majority of birthing parents,” John Sauer.

DEI Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson EMBARRASSES Herself In Front Of President Trump

President Trump made history today, attending the Supreme Court oral arguments on the Birthright Citizenship case.

In case you missed that:

President Trump Makes Supreme Court History

And with the Commander-In-Chief present, DEI hire Ketanji Brown Jackson did a doozy on herself, proving to President Trump and the world that she truly is a moron.

It started with her coming up with this really bizarre analogy about visiting Japan and stealing a wallet:

Quite possibly the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

She seems to confuse “allegiance” with simply being under the existing law of the land.

And why would you choose such a ghetto analogy?

Stealing a wallet?

Really?

That’s the analogy you want to make….you in Japan on vacation ripping off some guy’s wallet?

Weird!

She then tried to quote some Senate debate from the 1800s, but later admitted she has no idea if the quotes were actually from Senators….

But even worse, the quotes supported the other side!  They actually made Trump’s case for him!

Hilarious:

And then for the perfect trifecta, she finished it off with this one:

Truly dumber than a box of rocks!

It would be really funny if it weren’t so sad.

President Trump Makes Supreme Court History

President Trump just made history again…

It’s almost like all the prior Presidents were not even trying?

Admittedly, President Trump has the energy and stamina of a 20 year old, and he puts it to good use, constantly doing things no one else has done before.

Today he became the first President to attend Supreme Court oral arguments.

See here:

Of course the paid protestors were also on the scene to reeeeeeeee loudly:

From Fox News:

President Donald Trump attended Wednesday’s oral arguments for more than an hour, with sources in the room telling Fox News he remained focused on the arguments.

Trump arrived roughly 10 minutes before the session began and stayed through the entirety of Solicitor General John Sauer’s argument, which lasted 65 minutes.

Trump then stayed for seven minutes of argument from ACLU legal director Cecillia Wang’s reply,

Trump did not speak for the duration, as court rules require. He left without making comment to the press.

More from Fox News here:

President Donald Trump offered his first public reaction after attending the Supreme Court’s oral arguments on birthright citizenship on Wednesday.

“We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

Justices voiced strong pushback Wednesday against Trump’s sweeping efforts to restrict who can be called an American, in a politically divisive case over automatic citizenship for some children born in the United States.

We are pleased to announce our partnership with Hunter Tylo.
