Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett challenged the Trump administration's top lawyer Thursday during a hearing over the legality of nationwide injunctions — and the president's controversial attempt to end birthright citizenship.
Barrett, appointed by President Donald Trump in 2020, broke with MAGA expectations by siding with Justice Elena Kagan when she stepped in to an exchange with Solicitor General Dean John Sauer, who is representing the administration in its push to limit the power of federal judges to block executive orders.
