Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough reveled in one moment from Wednesday’s Supreme Court hearing on birthright citizenship, when Chief Justice John Roberts flatlined President Donald Trump’s “caveman lawyer” with what the host called the “quote of the year.”
Roberts signaled skepticism as he heard oral arguments over the Trump administration’s bid to overturn a lower court decision blocking the president’s executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship.
Representing the administration, Solicitor General John Sauer told the justices that the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the United States, has been wrongly interpreted over time.
Opening Thursday’s Morning Joe, however, Scarborough rolled back one clip that he beamed “wraps it all up” when, as Trump’s lawyer complained that “8 billion people” were “one plane ride away” from having a child with U.S. citizenship only for Roberts to quip: “It’s a new world. It’s the same constitution.”
As co-host Mika Brzezinski attempted to push on with commentary, Scarborough interrupted: “Can we just stop? Can we can we just stop for one second and just say, when you hear the quote of the year, you just want to just stop and you want it to wash over you. You want it to wash over you.”
“This is what we’ve been hearing [from the Trump administration], for oh-so-long now: ‘This is a new world. We have new challenges. It’s never been this bad. We’ve got to shred the constitution –’ and so yesterday, this poor John Sauer guy who we’re going to get to the point where he’s trying to explain to Neil Gorsuch why Native Americans don’t have birthright citizenship,” the host quipped.
Rounding on Sauer’s confrontation with Gorsuch, Scarborough said: “Maybe he just doesn’t know – it’s all so confusing, he’s just a caveman lawyer, how could he try to figure out whether people have been here hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years before white people even showed up, might have birthright citizenship.”
The host returned to Roberts’s clapback and continued: “But in this particular moment, Donald Trump’s solicitor general, he goes, ‘Well, you know, Mr. Chief Justice –’ well, now let me get that voice, right.
“‘Well, you know, Mr. Chief justice, this is a new world and there are new challenges,’” Scarborough said, pitching his voice to mock Sauer’s gravelly tone, before adding: “To which John Roberts said, ‘Well, you may be right. This may be a new world, but it’s the same old Constitution.’”
The host reacted: “I just, whoa! I mean, if there’s ever been a line that explains to the Trump administration how them setting their hair on fire and running around in front of TV cameras, in front of the White House, is performative nonsense when it comes to the Constitution of the United States of America, that exchange – ‘may be a new world, sir, but it’s the same old Constitution – that exchange really wraps it all up in a neat give and take.”
