'Delusional': CNN legal expert gobsmacked as furious MAGA tries to override Supreme Court

President Donald Trump called for Congress to help him overcome his Supreme Court loss by passing a law to limit birthright citizenship, but CNN's Elie Honig called that plan "delusional."

Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined five other justices in voting against Trump's executive order, but he argued that the order had violated federal law but not the Constitution and all but invited Congress to pass legislation to strip automatic citizenship for the children of some immigrants.

"This is not going to work," Honig said. "You have to be delusional to think that you can pass a law that will then supersede what's in the Constitution. So we now know, as a result of yesterday's ruling, that birthright citizenship in the 14th Amendment is what we have thought it has been for the last 158 years, which essentially says if you're born here, with very narrow exceptions, you are a citizen. If Congress were to pass a law saying, no, it's actually much narrower than that, that would not overcome the Constitution itself. You could no more do that than you could go pass a law saying no more Electoral College. No, the Constitution says Electoral College."

"To change the Constitution, you have to amend the Constitution," he added. "If you want to change it, there is a mechanism. It's virtually impossible in today's reality, but no, a law will not overcome what's in the Constitution itself."
