As the Supreme Court heard arguments in Trump v. CASA Thursday morning, activists rallied outside the court to defend birthright citizenship.
"American Born Children Are American!" read signs carried by participants.
"Thank you CASA for bringing us together!" said Representative Nancy Pelosi. "The current occupant of the White House has said from time to time that America is stupid to support the 14th Amendment."
"No, Mr. President, America isn't stupid! It's the Constitution of the United States that all of us in elected office take an oath to protect and defend."
"This administration is attempting to overthrow the Constitution that says that if you are born in this country, you are an American citizen, period!" said Rep Delia Ramirez.
"I am a birthright citizen!" she declared to cheers. "My mother and father were undocumented when I was born and they raised me to fight for justice, speak truth to power, and see our shared humanity!"
