The Supreme Court seemed poised Wednesday to reject Donald Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship in a consequential case that was magnified by his unparalleled presence in the courtroom.

Conservative and liberal justices questioned whether Trump’s order declaring that children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens comports with either the Constitution or federal law.

Arguments lasted more than two hours in a crowded courtroom that included not only Trump, the first sitting president to attend arguments at the nation’s highest court, but also Attorney General Pam Bondi and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and in seats reserved for the justices’ guests, actor Robert De Niro.

    So nothing better for the fascist Donvict to do than to go attend this hearing to further enhance his desire for an upper Epstein class. Same with Bondi. What a waste of taxpayers’ money and time. Incompetent governance!Shame on the Republican Senators and House Reps that support this administration!
