Angry Trump Lets His Real Thoughts Slip in SCOTUS Rampage

Key Points:

• Former President Donald Trump publicly criticized Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, both of whom he appointed, calling them a “disgrace” and “an embarrassment” following their handling of a case on birthright citizenship.
• Trump expressed frustration over the justices’ expected ruling against his executive order aimed at ending automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are undocumented or on temporary visas, a move previously blocked by lower courts citing the 14th Amendment.
• He attended the Supreme Court oral arguments on the issue but left abruptly, disappointed by the justices’ apparent skepticism toward his position, and predicted a negative ruling would have severe economic consequences for the country.
• The American Civil Liberties Union and other groups have challenged Trump’s executive order, arguing it violates constitutional principles, longstanding precedent, and American values; a Supreme Court decision is anticipated by late June or early July.
• Trump emphasized his expectation for loyalty from the justices to the country rather than to him personally, warning that adverse rulings on birthright citizenship and recent tariff cases threaten the nation’s economic sustainability.
