Justice Kagan to Trump lawyer: ‘Let’s assume you’re dead wrong’

The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in a case about the enforcement of President Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship order. The main question for the justices is whether lower courts overstepped their authority by blocking that January 20 order on a nationwide basis. Justice Elena Kagan is getting to the heart of the practical questions about what would happen if the high court sides with Trump on the issue of nationwide injunctions. Solicitor General D. John Sauer tried to respond to Kagan by discussing the court’s ability to quickly move to the merits and that challengers could potentially file a class action lawsuit. But Sauer also acknowledged that the government would likely challenge that attempt. #CNN #News
