SCOTUS birthright citizenship ruling causes MSNBC host to erupt on air
Share this @internewscast.com

MSNBC host Symone Sanders Townsend gave an unhinged reaction to the Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship decision handed down on Friday. 

Sanders, a Co-Host of MSNBC’s The Weeknight and former Chief Spokesperson for Vice President Harris, quickly labeled the ruling as ‘insane.’

During the intense debate, she emphatically slammed her hands on the table, waved her arms in the air, and shook her head in frustration over the SCOTUS decision.

“I just don’t, I can’t believe we’re at the point where we are questioning if the 14th Amendment to the Constitution is constitutional. That’s just, it’s absurd. And frankly, people need to acknowledge, ‘this is crazy,'” Sanders Townsend expressed during the broadcast.

‘They are asking us… They’re asking us not to believe our own eyes and our own ears. They’re asking us to go against everything that we know to be true. This is insane,’ Sanders Townsend added. 

Another one of her co-hosts, former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, responded to Sanders Townsend, noting that ‘Trump and and his minions inside the government been very effective at setting to stair steps to the various narratives that they want to get accomplished.’

The court ruled 6-3 Friday in favor of Trump to end the practice of stalling his Executive Orders and agenda. 

The ruling allows Trump’s executive order halting birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants to take effect in states and jurisdictions that did not directly challenge his action in court. It could mean citizenship rules vary from state to state, pending ongoing litigation.

While all six conservative justices – including the three he appointed – sided with the president, three people dissented the historic ruling. 

When the decision was made Friday, a fiery dispute broke out between two of America’s most powerful judges. 

The justices’ secret personal feuds have seemingly become so fraught that they are counting down the days until the SCOTUS summer recess – which will be a welcome respite from both work and colleagues, according to Chief Justice John Roberts.

This week, the court’s liberal wing erupted in spectacular fashion against the six-judge conservative alliance during the biggest ruling of the year thus far.

Trump appointee Justice Amy Coney Barrett, 53, ripped into liberal dissenter Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s arguments in her 6-3 majority opinion in a major birthright citizenship case.

Writing for the conservative majority of the court, Barrett hit back at both Jackson and fellow Justice Sonia Sotomayor who dissented.

Barrett’s scorched earth reply took aim at Jackson mostly, spending 900 words to repeatedly rip into the Biden appointee and the court’s most junior member.

Jackson went on to describe the decision as an ‘existential threat to the rule of law.’

Speaking at the White House after his victory, Trump said: ‘This was a big one. Amazing decision, one we’re very happy about. This really brings back the Constitution. This is what it’s all about.’

Basking in his victory during an impromptu appearance in the White House briefing room, the president vowed to push through ‘many’ more of his policies after the court win, including curbs to birthright citizenship.

The president said he would ‘promptly file’ to advance policies that have previously been blocked by judges.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said the ruling meant ‘not one district court judge can think they’re an emperor over this administration and his executive powers, and why the people of the United States elected him.’
