President Donald Trump reportedly left a Supreme Court hearing early after conservative Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and John Roberts seemed skeptical of ending birthright citizenship.

Shortly following Solicitor General John Sauer's arguments against birthright citizenship, Trump was seen leaving the court, according to NBC News and a pool report.

During oral arguments, Roberts suggested that the U.S. Constitution protected the notion of birthright citizenship.

"We're in a new world where 8 billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who's a US citizen," Sauer argued. "It's a new world. It's the same Constitution," Roberts said.

1. By Royal Decree, I am firing all 9 justices and replacing them with 9 paralegals from Trump University!

The Republicans Party would say, Anything you say Boss!"

[ruet]

2. I Listened To the Whole Thing.

I think 9-0 is pretty close to being the correct prediction.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. I listened to the whole thing too

it was an interesting combo of questions and and cross-questions and agreement between justices.

The downside was that damn motor-mouth Sauer. He was literally spewing out his responses in the fashion of the "then dazzle them with bullshit" method of litigating.

The racist POS also doesn't believe that Native Americans/First Peoples are U.S. citizens, but then stumbled over that when questioned by several justices.

10. 7-2 or 6-3 :Alito and Thomas will be yes and maybe Kavanaugh.

[charliea]

17. Well it should be...

And I hope you're right, but Thomas is bribable, and Alito is a "seven mountains" wackadoodle. The others appear to have decent reading comprehension vis-a-vis the 14th Amendment. It's looking like the best TSF can hope for is a 7-2 decision against his mob boss decree.
My fingers are crossed, and I hope I'm not overly optimistic.

20. No one brought up the theoretical case of Baron

Trump? His mother was in the US illegally after not keeping to the terms of her visa. Therefore he would not have brithright citizenship, correct?

[Miguelito Loveless]

3. So, someone woke Trump up

and explained he was losing?

[RockRaven]

4. They weren't talking about him, so he got bored.

[highplainsdem]

5. Considering that orange SOB has for many years rented condos in Florida to Russians wanting their

babies born here, he's a complete hypocrite objecting to birthright citizenship.

[Ray Bruns]

6. Bullshit. Trump has never "bolted" anywhere in his life.

[RobertDevereaux]

19. Correct. As I just stated on FB...

Writers please note: Flump doesn’t storm or lash out. He galumphs or limp-noodles out like the drained, doomed flaccidity he is.

[Aristus]

7. Hey, since the repukes are now open to that 'new world' argument,

we should point out that when the Second Amendment was ratified, the deadliest firearm in the world was a single-shot musket that took a skilled user over thirty seconds to re-load.

No one at the time could have imagined that one day, a 'new world' would have a firearm capable of killing thirty school children in five seconds with one pull of the trigger. Or that there would be people out there who thought it perfectly acceptable to have un-trained civilians own such firearms.

9. Farting in the courtroom again?

[oasis]

11. Ahhhhhh.......Donny no like

[pat_k]

12. He was sure his very presence would be so intimidating that the six black-robed traitors would smile, nod, and agree...

.. with every insane utterance out of Sauer's mouth.

He couldn't handle the display of disobedience.

Truth social rant alert!!

[Mblaze]

13. In this "new world", eight billion people

Are not hopping a jet to America to have a child so it can have birthright citizenship. Are they going to just leave the baby here when their visas expire?

It's easy to come up with worst-case scenarios on almost anything.

[BootinUp]

14. Hey MAGA! it's the same constitution.

I like that.

[Trueblue Texan]

15. Sauer's argument...

I'm no lawyer, but even I know that if a law isn't working anymore, you have to change the law, in this case, the Constitution. You can't just stop honoring the Constitution just because the president thinks it doesn't work anymore. Jesus. What morons.

21. He's parroting Eastman's lunacy

https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/31/birthright-citizenship-supreme-court-john-eastman-00851127

Long before John Eastman helped devise Donald Trump’s bid to overturn the 2020 election, he had another pet cause: ending birthright citizenship.

The idea was once relegated to obscure articles in right-wing journals and little-noticed debates before conservative groups. But Trump ushered it into the limelight on his first day back in office last year by issuing an executive order purporting to upend the well-established understanding that virtually everyone born on U.S. soil gets American citizenship
...
Eastman has been advancing his fringe interpretation of the 14th Amendment since 2005, racking up more than 100 op-eds, interviews, law review articles, debates, speeches and legislative hearings.

“John is probably the brain trust,” said Ediberto Roman, a Florida International University law professor who’s debated Eastman.

16. Sauer is a sour old bigot...

... who deserves to be disbarred.

[Deminpenn]

18. I was skeptical Trump could sit silently

for over an hour or more especially when no one in the room was lavishing him with praise. I'm sure he was bored after 10 minutes. Let's be honest, the only reason he even showed up was to try and intimidate the justices.
