The Supreme Court seemed poised Wednesday to reject Donald Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship in a consequential case that was magnified by his unparalleled presence in the courtroom.

Conservative and liberal justices questioned whether Trump’s order declaring that children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens comports with either the Constitution or federal law.

Arguments lasted more than two hours in a crowded courtroom that included not only Trump, the first sitting president to attend arguments at the nation’s highest court, but also Attorney General Pam Bondi and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and in seats reserved for the justices’ guests, actor Robert De Niro.

    I think at this point anyone still supporting him is going to be devastated when their orange god shits it. Pretty much only ride or die types there anymore.

    They give lip service to not supporting one thing or another, but there always maintain they’d never have voted for anyone opposing him, so. Seems to me that you kinda have to be all in at this point, whatever you say.
