This week the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments over President Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship in the United States. President Trump attended the first day of oral arguments Wednesday, making him the first sitting president to attend arguments at the country’s highest court. During the session, the nine justices appeared skeptical of Trump’s order with Chief Justice John Roberts appearing to dismiss a contention by U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer defending Trump's order saying, "Eight billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who's a U.S. citizen." To which Roberts replied, "Well, it's a new world, but it's the same Constitution." Where do you come down on birthright citizenship? Do you think Trump’s order will stand?
