@troymcdonald.bsky.socialThe case is sumbitted. The easy prediction here is 7-2, birthright citizenship stands, Trump loses. But... I don't think we have Kav as much as others. So that could be 6-3. BUT... my most radical take would be 8-1. With only Alito dissenting. That's... *a possibility*
Show PostSauer’s argument had a resentful “excuse me, but I was told that you were on our side, and that it didn’t matter that our arguments were stupid” tone.
Show PostWang hits him back with "that means that children of Irish, and ITALIAN immigrants would also not be a citizen." Alito is the son of Italian immigrants.
Show PostWang makes her best point, which was made in one of the briefs: Babies of Japanese citizens born while their parents were INTERRED during world war 2 were [wait for it] US citizens. That history ALONE should be dispositive.
Show PostSauer is done. We're heading into Wang. At the break point, I have the score 6-1 for birthright: Roberts, Soto, Kagan, Gorsuch, ACB, KBJ in the majority, Alito dissent. I'm *pretty sure* Kav will join the majority and Thomas will dissent, to make it 7-2. But I need to hear how they handle Wang.
