That was a moment where I found myself, my eyebrows raised when I heard it.

What was your reaction to that?

Yeah, let's listen to a little bit more of Chief Justice Roberts talking about the skepticism of Sauer's argument.

Domenico, what did you make of how the justices received the Solicitor General's argument?

Nina, you have watched countless of these sort of arguments.

What stood out to you about the justices' questions?

I mean, Carrie, there was this moment where Justice Sonia Sotomayor kind of started playing out some of the real-world implications of what could happen if a major change is ruled by the Court on Birthright Citizenship.

Can you talk a little bit about that or how the actual real-world impacts came up during these arguments?

All right.

Let's take a quick break and more on all of this in just a moment.

And we're back.

I feel like it's really hard to grasp how exactly the public feels about something that feels so abstract.

I mean, this came up during the hearing, Carrie, in terms of when you actually dig down, if this thing were overturned, people would feel it in ways that might even be hard to grasp at this point.

And just to kind of underscore this fact, Won Kim Ark was at the center of the kind of most important birthright citizenship case.

case that's come before the Supreme Court in the late 1800s.

And since then, it's been considered settled law that birthright citizenship was the law of the land.

The ACLU's Cecilia Wong referenced that.

Carrie, were there examples that popped up that showed, I guess, just how much this has been not an issue over the last century?

Domenico, this was obviously an important case for President Trump, shown by the fact that he showed up at the court today.

How much is at stake for him politically with how the court decides here?
