would not have been citizens either.

Right, because Alito is of Italian descent.

And what she seems to be saying is if you take the hypothetical argument that Alito is making about an Iranian father and son and would he have to serve in the army, perhaps because he has dual citizenship, that that was true of every person from every country who came to the U.S.

and had a kid.

They owed some theoretical allegiance back to their home country.

Thank you, Counsel General.

The case is submitted.

And as these arguments wrapped up on Wednesday afternoon, and just to say they were long and they were very substantive, was it right to think of this as a case that is quite likely to cut against the president and his executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship?

Was that the way the wind was blowing?

And I want you to return to President Trump, who, as best I can tell, is in that courtroom during a lot of the argument we're talking about.

What do you glean from his body language, from anything, about what he made of these arguments?

Right.

And something about that phrase, stupid enough, makes me think that Trump might have left the Supreme Court not certain of victory, in fact, maybe nervous of defeat.

And perhaps if he had hoped that being there might change the dynamics of this difficult case, perhaps recognizing that maybe it didn't?

Well, Anne, thank you very much.

Appreciate it.

Thank you.

In a televised speech to The Nation on Wednesday night, President Trump declared that the United States and Israeli war against Iran has been a major military success.

But Trump offered no clear timeline for when or how the war might end, downplayed its economic costs, and claimed, without evidence, that the Strait of Hormuz would spontaneously open back up at the conclusion of the conflict.

Artemis II, a 10-day mission around the moon, began on Wednesday evening when a spacecraft carrying four astronauts blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
