Also on the Insider docket: – The justices heard oral arguments on whether federal judges can issue nationwide injunctions blocking enforcement of President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship; and – DOJ is investigating former FBI Director James Comey over a social media post the Trump administration says amounted to a threat of violence against the President.
