Give us your best thoughts about this, Viceroy.

Yes, Trump Solicitor General John Sauer did a phenomenal job today.

He made a compelling case why the 14th Amendment does not provide birthright citizenship to illegal aliens, just like it did not provide birthright citizenship to American Indians, and Congress did that by statute later on.

So I would say this, if the Supreme Court follows

The clear law here, this is a very easy case.

It should be six to three, saying that birthright citizenship is not for illegal aliens, right?

If the Supreme Court follows the politics, we could see a seven to two decision for birthright citizenship for 1.5 million Chinese birth tourists.

And I'm a little bit nervous it may be the latter.

Mike, Gorsuch, as you know, I was on the committee, the five-man committee that offered this up to the president to review, have a couple of picks, and Gorsuch was his guy from the very beginning.

You were obviously very close to Justice Gorsuch.

You led the confirmation fight and did everything.

Talk to me about him, because he's I would say he's a guy that doesn't put the politics up, I don't think.

But he had some pretty he looked like he was not convinced.

I'm not a lawyer.

I'm certainly not a constitutional lawyer.

But just Gorsuch, I thought, had some of those searing questions.

Your thoughts about Justice Gorsuch and his interactions with John Sauer?

Well, I hope that all of these justices go through the briefs.

They go through the plain text of the 14th Amendment and subsequent legislation, and they look at the original public meaning.

And I think if they do that, if they actually go through that exercise of textualism and originalism, which is how they sold themselves to get the job, I think that the answer is very clear here.
