@trom771 It looks to me that this is a video of Trump in his "hold" room (site advance talk) before he spoke at the rally. The live footage Trump is watching is of the crowd at the rally. I hate Trump. He should be removed, but also think it is important to be clear about the events.

I said this when the leaked opinion came out but it is worth repeating. The Constitution does not explicitly protect female citizenship. Your rights are based on the fact that sometimes mostly male justices felt like being generous and reading the 14th amendment expansively.
