Overview

• C-SPAN has formally requested permission from Chief Justice John Roberts to broadcast oral arguments in the upcoming Supreme Court case on birthright citizenship.
• The case, initiated by the Trump administration, seeks to end automatic citizenship for individuals born on U.S. soil, challenging long-standing interpretations of the 14th Amendment.
• Three federal appeals courts previously blocked the administration's policy, prompting the Justice Department to escalate the case to the Supreme Court.
• Television and still cameras have historically been barred from Supreme Court proceedings, and the Court has not yet commented on C-SPAN's petition.
• Oral arguments in the case, scheduled for next week, are expected to draw significant public attention as one of the most closely watched cases of the term.
