The Supreme Court seems poised to reject President Donald Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship in a consequential case that was magnified by his unparalleled presence in the courtroom. The justices on Wednesday heard the Republican president’s appeal of a lower-court ruling from New Hampshire that struck down the citizenship restrictions, which have not taken effect anywhere in the country. Trump’s order declares that children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens. Conservative and liberal justices questioned whether Trump’s order comports with the Constitution or federal law. Trump spent just over an hour inside the courtroom, staying only for arguments by the government’s lawyer.
