Supreme Court Weighs Trump's Birthright Citizenship Plan Amidst Judicial Concerns

The Supreme Court heard arguments on May 15, 2025, regarding President Donald Trump's attempt to reinterpret the Constitution's guarantee of birthright citizenship. Justices expressed concerns about the potential consequences of allowing this reinterpretation to take effect while litigation continues. Justice Sonia Sotomayor raised the specter of a Democratic or liberal president potentially seizing people's guns, highlighting the far-reaching implications of Trump's proposal. The video includes footage from the hearing and commentary from NBC News correspondent Ken Dilanian. The case involves challenges to the legal precedent surrounding birthright citizenship and raises questions about the balance of power between the executive and judicial branches.
