Inside the Supreme Court as Trump faced the justices he's criticized

Key Points:

• President Donald Trump became the first sitting president known to attend a Supreme Court oral argument, appearing for a case challenging his executive order limiting birthright citizenship.
• Trump sat impassively during the session, which included tough questioning of his Solicitor General by justices from both conservative and liberal wings, showing skepticism about the constitutional validity of the order.
• The justices did not acknowledge Trump’s presence, maintaining courtroom decorum, with Chief Justice John Roberts quickly bringing the court to order without reference to the president.
• Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor raised concerns about the potential retroactive application of the birthright citizenship limitation, highlighting broader implications beyond the current administration.
• After part of the argument, Trump left abruptly for an Easter lunch and posted critical remarks on social media, while the court’s decision is now pending behind closed doors, expected by the end of June.
