Supremes, the justices talk about this.

And I want to start with the Chief Justice, John Roberts.

Listen to him yesterday.

He seemed very confused about why illegals should be excluded from American citizenship.

Listen.

So let me just take you back to what John Roberts started with there.

He goes, well, wait a second.

They didn't give citizenship to some narrow categories, he claimed, like the children of foreign diplomats.

If a foreign ambassador comes to the United States and has a baby here, they weren't entitled to that child becoming an American citizen.

But those are very narrow exceptions, he said.

So what about a large group like illegal aliens?

How could something that applies to a small group of people apply to a large group of people?

What?

What kind of argument is that?

So if enough people break our laws, they get to do it?

Is that really the argument that you're mounting, John Roberts?

And John Sauer,

who is the Solicitor General of the United States, he's the guy with the scratchy voice you heard just arguing the case.

He points out something super relevant, which is that back in the mid 1800s, when this whole debate was going on between the 14th Amendment and the 1866 Civil Rights Act,

He said, this was fundamentally about people who were subject to foreign powers, who were the subjects of foreign powers.
