It appears SCOTUS doesn't much care of trump comes and sits for oral arguments. I'm sure we can expect to see all sorts of late night social media posts as he starts to realize this one is going to be a loser for him.
Supreme Court justices appear skeptical over Trump's changes to US birthright citizenship rules
On Wednesday, April 1, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara over President Donald Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship, with Trump becoming the first sitting president to attend Supreme Court oral arguments.
Signed on Jan. 20, 2025, the order aimed to deny citizenship to children born to parents unlawfully present in the U.S., challenging longstanding 14th Amendment protections until lower courts blocked enforcement nationwide.
Arguing for the administration, Solicitor General D. John Sauer faced skeptical questioning from justices regarding the order's textual basis, while ACLU attorney Cecillia Wang defended the "otherwise universal rule" of birthright citizenship.
Chief Justice John Roberts called the administration's historical approach "quirky," and most justices appeared skeptical of the order, with a final decision expected by late June.
A ruling upholding the order would immediately affect an estimated 250,000 babies born annually and require families and agencies to establish new citizenship verification frameworks, potentially upending more than a century of legal precedent.
