Quick Insights
The Bottom Line
President Trump made the case for war with Iran; Supreme Court majority appeared inclined to uphold birthright citizenship.
AI Summary
President Trump addressed the nation last night to make the case for military action against Iran. In a separate development, the Supreme Court majority appeared inclined to reject the Trump administration's position on birthright citizenship during oral arguments. The justices' lean toward upholding birthright citizenship contradicts the administration's legal push to restrict citizenship grants to children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents. No timeline for the Court's final decision was announced.
