Supreme Court hears citizenship case in the USAFP, WASHINGTONThe US Supreme Court on Wednesday appeared poised to reject US President Donald Trump’s bid to end birthright citizenship in the US, following a hearing featuring the attendance of the president. Trump left the hearing following the presentation by his solicitor general, John Sauer, and did not remain for the arguments of American Civil Liberties Union attorney Cecillia Wang, who was defending birthright citizenship. “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!” Trump said in a social media post after returning to the White House.
