Full Episode
It certainly did not seem like a majority of the United States Supreme Court was buying what Donald Trump and the regime were selling on the issue of birthright citizenship. A major oral argument was held today before the United States Supreme Court
where the Trump regime was challenging the right of federal courts to issue nationwide injunctions and specifically in the context of nationwide injunctions, blocking the regime via executive order to eliminate the constitutional right to birthright citizenship. Donald Trump believes that
that he could execute an executive order overruling the Constitution, and that federal courts can't issue nationwide injunctions to block him. So this case before the Supreme Court was more surgically dealing with the issue of nationwide injunctions, but some of the issues between injunctions, meaning like a single court being able to block an administration or regime's ability to
institute something on a nationwide basis. That was what was mostly addressed, but because it does relate to the merits as well in birthright citizenship, you heard a little bit of the merits argument made there. The case was consolidated of multiple cases, Trump versus New Jersey, Trump versus Washington, and Trump versus Casa Inc., the solicitor general.
For New Jersey, the top law enforcement attorney general, rather, in New Jersey was the person who argued this case for all of the states. And for Trump, you had his solicitor general of the United States, John Sauer, who was previously Donald Trump's personal attorney. So let me go through some of the highlights of what went down today.
Then let's talk more comprehensively about what took place today. Here is Justice Kagan, a liberal justice.
Here's what she had to say. Play this clip. It sort of depends on the government's own actions in a case like this one. where one can expect that there is not going to be a great deal of disagreement among the lower courts. I mean, let's assume that you lose in the lower courts pretty uniformly as you have been losing on this issue. And that you never take this question to us.
I mean, I noticed that you didn't take the substantive question to us. You only took the nationwide injunction question to us. I mean, why would you take the substantive question to us? You're losing a bunch of cases. This guy over here, this woman over here, you know, they'll have to be treated as citizens, but nobody else will. Why would you ever take this case to us?
Well, in this particular case, we have deliberately not presented the merits to this court on the question of the scope of remedies, because, of course, that makes it a clean vehicle where the court doesn't have to look at it.
