🚨 NOW: President Trump just witnessed a MASTERCLASS where Solicitor General John Sauer gave a perfect response to Justice John Roberts on birthright citizenship "What does that mean, subject to the jurisdiction thereof? And he says, it means not owing allegiance to ANYBODY ELSE. That is what it means." Illegal aliens owe allegiance to their country of birth, not America. Open and shut.

This really just happened in the US Supreme Court. Trump's attorney John Sauer just essentially told SCOTUS Justice Sotomayor that Joe Biden could deem Trump as being a corrupt person, and then order the military to assassinate him. And it could be viewed as an official act that is immune from prosecution. Justice Sotomayor: "If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military to assassinate him, is that within his official acts to which he could get immunity?" Trump's attorney: "It would depend on the hypothetical, but we can see that could well be an official act." Listen to the exchange below:

Stephen Miller on SCOTUS Allowing States to Accept Mail-in Ballots AFTER Election Day: “Let’s just call it like it is. Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett decided to cave to the radical left. Alito was so clear in his wording about what election day means. Nobody could read the statute and read that opinion… and come to any other conclusion… This was really a travesty.” “We have to KEEP fighting to pass the SAVE America Act.”
