"Donald Trump took the unprecedented step of sitting in as the Supreme Court heard oral argument on the challenge to the administration's executive order purporting to end birthright citizenship. He bailed long before the argument ended once even he could see his case was totally cooked."
"Justice Jackson asked a hypothetical about stealing a wallet in Japan to explore the various meanings of being subject to jurisdiction, which kicked a hornets' nest of social media racists questioning her legal credentials from their mom's basement."
"In its attempt to rewrite birthright citizenship, the administration cited Confederate officer and segregation advocate Alexander Porter Morse as an authority, reminding that not every supporting citation is a good idea."
"Trump canned his Attorney General, describing her next move as 'transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector,' which is somehow even more brutal than the Kristi Noem treatment."
Donald Trump attended a Supreme Court session regarding birthright citizenship but left early, recognizing the weakness of his case. Justice Jackson's hypothetical scenario about theft provoked backlash from social media users questioning her qualifications. The administration's citation of a Confederate officer to support its stance on citizenship raised eyebrows. A Texas judge ejected an IT worker for diagnosing a non-existent issue. Susman Godfrey increased its clerkship bonuses significantly, while Trump dismissed his Attorney General, with her portrait found discarded at the DOJ. Trump's legal team's analogy comparing him to a rapper was effectively challenged by Judge Mehta.
