Kasie Hunt opened her Tuesday episode of The Arena with a segment about the Supreme Court’s 6-3 vote to block Trump from unilaterally ending birthright citizenship. The segment featured a clip with GOP reactions to the “stinging loss,” as Hunt described it.
“This decision that John Roberts authored is bad on the level of Dred Scott, or Roe v. Wade,” Fox News commentator Mollie Hemingway was shown saying.
“I adamantly disagree with the spirit of the Fourteenth Amendment,” Department of Homeland Security Sec. Markwayne Mullin was shown saying, also on Fox News.
“I’m very disappointed in the outcome,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told the press in another clip.

“This is one quiver in the president’s group of arrows removed from him,” Judge Andrew Napolitano was shown saying.
“You’ve got the ultimate conclusion of the Bush Era, was this John Roberts [decision],” Steve Bannon said. “He gave it to you, baby, right between the eyes. How do you like it? Suck on that.”
After that series of reactions, Hunt said, “Wow, on a number of levels,” and later added while speaking to CNN legal analyst Elie Honig that it was “fairly remarkable to hear the Dred Scott case referenced in any positive way anywhere.”
