California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) told MS NOW Wednesday that President Donald Trump may have attended the Supreme Court argument on birthright citizenship to potentially intimidate the sitting judges.

“As someone who operates with leverage, tries to blow by the laws, sees laws and the Constitution, unfortunately, as speed bumps on his way to advancing his own agenda, it seems like there’s a potential he was trying to, you know, intimidate this U.S. Supreme Court, not that they can be,” Bonta said of Trump.

On his first day back in office last year, Trump issued an executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants and temporary residents.

Birthright citizenship has historically been protected under the 14th Amendment. The president’s executive order was ultimately challenged in Trump v. Barbara, a class-action civil suit.

Trump, the first sitting president to attend a Supreme Court argument, left early. He raged on Truth Social after his brief appearance, telling followers, “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!”

More than 30 countries in the world offer birthright citizenship, a majority of which are in the Western Hemisphere.

The state attorney general prefaced his theory by telling anchor Chris Jansing, “I wish I didn’t conclude this, but the history in his past behavior has, you know, strongly suggested it’s true.”

He added that Trump tried “to just make it clear that this is very important to him and he’s watching.”

“I don’t think that’s an appropriate message to be sending,” Bonta added. “Maybe that’s not the message he was trying to send and I’m getting it all wrong, but based on his past behavior, that is a logical conclusion for me.”

Despite Trump’s brief presence, both liberal and conservative justices questioned the administration’s argument, made by Solicitor General D. John Sauer.
