Trump Fumes As Justices Take Up Next Big Case

“President Trump’s relationship with the Supreme Court has never been more toxic. Now, it risks getting worse,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“After the court’s rejection of Trump’s tariffs provoked a new level of hostility from the president, the justices are set to consider a pillar of his immigration crackdown: limiting U.S. citizenship. Trump seems to be bracing for defeat.”

“The case, which will be argued Wednesday, tests Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship for the children of unlawful immigrants and temporary visitors. He has gotten trounced in the lower courts, and several conservative Supreme Court justices have already hinted, through little-noticed cues, that they may be skeptical, too.”

“A ruling against the president would further undercut Trump’s stated desire for a court that rubber-stamps his agenda.”
