Maureen, this case has to do with the 14th Amendment, a law that was ratified more than 150 years ago.

Tell me what this amendment says and what motivated its passage.

Let's get to the arguments.

What did the lawyers arguing against Trump's executive order say on Wednesday?

And what did the lawyers representing Trump argue?

Solicitor General John Sauer repeatedly brought up birth tourism as a booming industry trend in his arguments.

Is there a legal basis for his argument?

217 members of Congress filed an amicus brief friendly note to the court on this case.

What did they say in their brief, Maureen?

Notably, President Trump attended the arguments on Wednesday, the first time in history that a sitting president did so.

How did he react during arguments?

Was his presence acknowledged by the court or the lawyers who were presenting?

Based on the questions from the justices following the arguments, did you get any sense of which way they're leaning?

As I mentioned, this executive order, if SCOTUS deems it legal, would affect millions of people.

Who are we talking about here?

There are a few different categories, right?

Marina, if that happens, if Trump's order goes into effect, isn't it possible that some babies could be born stateless?

What's the solution for those children?

In your article previewing the arguments, you also referenced a cascading effect since birthright citizenship has been in place for so long.

Tell me about that.
