Screenshot of a tweet by Aaron Rupar showing a Fox News clip labeled “Audio from inside the Supreme Court.” The graphic displays two headshots: U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer and Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch. The tweet quotes an exchange where Gorsuch asks whether Native Americans would be considered birthright citizens under a legal test, and Sauer responds hesitantly, saying he would need to think it through. The lower banner reads “Court hears citizenship case w/ Trump in attendance” and “Supreme Court oral arguments.”
