Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship in Six to Three Ruling Against Trump
Reality Check with Ross Coulthart
SCOTUS upholds birthright citizenship, Trump isn't backing down | Elizabeth Vargas Reports Full Show
"Chief Justice John Roberts wrote today's 6-3 decision saying, citizenship then and now was the right to have rights and to freely participate in our political community. The framers of the 14th Amendment extended that promise to every freeborn person in this land. We keep that promise today."
The Supreme Court rejected President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship, upholding the 14th Amendment in a 6-3 decision authored by Chief Justice Roberts. The ruling follows Trump's attendance at oral arguments in April, making him the first sitting president to do so. Trump has now called on Congress to pass legislation or amend the Constitution to restrict birthright citizenship.
