Mr. No Attention Span was probably starting to doze off, and they didn't want that optics.

Nothing moves quickly at SCOTUS. So, you can safely wander off as much as you want.

He has the aptitude, language skills, and comprehension of that of a 4th grader. (No offense to 4th graders.)

He knows now his EO is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Just as his EO about who can get a Ballot by Mail.

He wants to turn the system upside down and like going to war, he doesn’t understand the ramifications. The birthright issue was settled over 100 years ago but he doesn’t like it.

trump did not have fun at the part of the hearing he attended. It is not good form to leave a court proceeding before such proceeding is over. trump may be unhappy that the conservatives on SCOTUS were NOT buying Sauer's arguments

Trump bolts from Supreme Court early as conservative justices skeptical of his arguments

President Donald Trump reportedly left a Supreme Court hearing early after conservative Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and John Roberts seemed skeptical of ending birthright citizenship.

Shortly following Solicitor General John Sauer's arguments against birthright citizenship, Trump was seen leaving the court, according to NBC News and a pool report.

During oral arguments, Roberts suggested that the U.S. Constitution protected the notion of birthright citizenship.

"We're in a new world where 8 billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who's a US citizen," Sauer argued.

"It's a new world. It's the same Constitution," Roberts said.
