We have some big news this afternoon. The Supreme Court just finished hearing oral arguments in a case that could decide whether or not Donald Trump will be able to change the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution to make birthright citizenship obsolete for those who have parents who are undocumented.

And while after hearing over two hours of oral argument, I can confidently say both as a journalist

and as a lawyer who has studied constitutional law in the past, that this Supreme Court is poised

to rule against the President of the United States.

And it's maybe why he left in the middle of oral argument after his solicitor general was peppered with questions from the conservatives and the liberals on the court.

I watched the entire oral argument so that you didn't have to, and I'm going to break down some of the key moments for you in this video.

Today's Supreme Court arguments turned on a simple question,

whether an individual born to two undocumented parents in the United States of America

is automatically entitled to birthright citizenship under the United States Constitution.

The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution is clear in what it says regarding birthright citizenship.

It says that all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof

are citizens of the United States of America and of the state wherein they reside.

No state shall make or enforce any law,

which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens in the United States,

nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.

That's the due process clause of the 14th Amendment. And while Trump is arguing that those born to two undocumented

parents are not subject to the jurisdiction thereof of the United States, but the first clause

born or naturalized in the United States, well, that is what this question turns on. If you are

born, are you a citizen? And this answer to that is seemingly yes, and it looks as though

the justices will agree. I want to begin by showing you a moment from Chief Justice John Roberts,

a conservative on the bench, who contradicted what Trump's attorneys were trying to argue. Take a listen.
