Trump Doesn’t Belong at the Supreme Court
On CNN’s “The Source” Tuesday, political commentator Van Jones said President Donald Trump has no place at oral arguments in the Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship case.
Jones said: “First of all, Donald Trump is doing the wrong thing at the wrong time, in the wrong place, and for the wrong reason, as usual. The President of the United States has no business being on the Supreme Court. We have a separation of powers for a reason. It’s not only unprecedented, it’s reckless, it’s unseemly, and it’s unfair that someone who has appointed people to the bench is sitting there harassing them, trying to get this that he wants. It’s a terrible idea.
He added: “You know, my children were born here in the United States. Two of them, their mother is from Mexico, they are American citizens. Period, end of story. And the fact that the President of the United States wants to trample on people’s rights, trample on their dignity and tell people that they don’t belong here. These children belong here when they were born here. And he has no place on the Supreme Court.”
Elie Honig, the network’s senior legal analyst, said, “So I think Van is going to be on the right side of the law here.” »
