Laying down the law on birthright citizenship
UC Berkeley Law Professor John Yoo weighs in on the Supreme Court's oral arguments regarding Donald Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship. Justices, including Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett, appeared skeptical of the order's constitutionality, referencing an 1898 precedent. Yoo suggests Trump's in-person attendance might not influence the court, potentially leading to another defeat for his administration.
