特朗普回应最高法院出生公民权裁决

, PROFESSOR OF LAW AND POLITICAL SCIENCE AT UCLA. GEOFF: FOR MORE ON HOW THE WHITE HOUSE HAS RESPONDED TO TODAY'S RULINGS AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND THE NATION'S HIGHEST COURT, WE ARE JOINED AGAIN BY AMY HOWE AND OUR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, LIZ LANDERS. LIZ, PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS PERSONALLY INVESTED IN THIS BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP CASE. HE EVEN ATTENDED THE ORAL ARGUMENT, WHICH IS RARE FOR SITTING PRESIDENTS.

IT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED BEFORE, BUT NOT IN MODERN HISTORY. HOW IS HE RESPONDING?

WITH DISAPPOINTMENT. THE ONLY THING WE HEARD FROM HIM IS THIS TRUTH SOCIAL POST THIS MORNING. YOU READ THAT EARLIER, BUT HE TALKS ABOUT THE FUTURE AND WHAT HE MAY BE ABLE TO DO GOING FORWARD AND A PATHWAY, HE THINKS, TO STILL OVERTURNING BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP. HE WROTE THAT CONGRESS SHOULD START TODAY TO WORK ON ENDING THIS. HE POSTED EARLIER IN THE MORNING RIGHT BEFORE THIS DECISION, A POST FROM A WEBSITE CALLED JUST THE NEWS.

THE HEADLINE SAYS, TRUMP'S EFFORTS TO REVERSE BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP MAY SUCCEED WITH OR WITHOUT THE SUPREME COURT. THE STORY SUGGESTS CONGRESS COULD CHANGE THE LAW WITH LEGISLATION CALLED THE BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ACT, INTRODUCED BY TWO ALLIES OF THE PRESIDENT, LINDSEY GRAHAM AND ANOTHER HOUSE REPUBLICAN, ON THE DAY HE WAS INAUGURATED IN JANUARY 2025. THIS LEGISLATION WOULD AMEND THE IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT.

I THINK WE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO SEE THE PRESIDENT PUSH MEMBERS ON THIS, BUT IT'S UNCLEAR HOW THAT WOULD FAIR, GIVEN TODAY'S DEFINITIVE DECISION FROM THE SUPREME COURT. THERE ARE OTHER ALLIES OF THE PRESIDENT, LIKE SENATOR MIKE LEE , WHO IS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS SORT OF CHANGE WOULD REQUIRE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. MORE BROADLY, THIS IS AN INTERESTING MOMENT WHERE WE ARE SEEING THE PRESIDENT INCREASINGLY LASH OUT AT THE SUPREME COURT.

IN FEBRUARY, I WAS IN THE BRIEFING ROOM WHEN THE TARIFFS DECISION CAME DOWN. THE PRESIDENT HAD A PRESS CONFERENCE AND WAS VERY UPSET WITH THE JUSTICES, IN PARTICULAR THE JUSTICES HE HAD APPOINTED THAT RULED AGAINST HIM. THERE WERE MORE JUSTICES TODAY WHO HE HAD APPOINTED TO THE COURT WHO ALSO RULED AGAINST HIM IN THIS CASE. GEOFF: ON THE MATTER OF BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP, HOW HAS THE PRESIDENT'S ARGUMENT EVOLVED OVER THE YEARS, AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR HIS IMMIGRATION AGENDA?

THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN SAYING THE SAME THING ABOUT THIS SINCE HE ANNOUNCED HIS PRESIDENTIAL BID IN 2015. I WAS LOOKING AT HIS COMMENTS FROM THAT TIME AND HE SAID HE DID NOT THINK CHANGING THE POLICY OF BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP WOULD REQUIRE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, WHICH IS WHAT HE IS SAYING TODAY, WHICH IS QUESTIONABLE, AND ARGUED CONGRESS COULD DO THE SAME THING. HE HAS HAD SOME OF THE SAME CAMPAIGN AIDES BECOME TOP WHITE HOUSE ADVISERS AND AIDES ON THIS ISSUE, LIKE STEPHEN MILLER, A POWERFUL TOP IMMIGRATION ADVISOR TO THE PRESIDENT.

MILLER WROTE ON X THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE AND OUTRAGEOUS DECISIONS IN THE LONG HISTORY OF THE SUPREME COURT. WE KNOW THAT MILLER AND THE PRES
