On Thursday, the Supreme Court wanted to keep blocking President Trump's rules about who can be a citizen. They also looked for a way to make court orders smaller.

The court was not sure about the decision. Most of the court worried about what would happen if the government could say "no" to giving citizenship to children born in the US to people who are here illegally.

The judges listened to reasons about the rules for citizenship. These rules were stopped in the country. The old government asked the judges to let the rules start now.

It is now hard for Trump to change the government. This makes him and his friends angry.

Since January, judges have made 40 orders about the whole country. This was said in court by D. John Sauer. The court talked about it for over two hours.

The government wants the court to quickly decide about some things, like who can become a citizen when they are born here. These things are about people coming to live here.

We can start this case fast, and it may work in the whole country.

But when Amy Coney Barrett asked him questions, Sauer said the old government might not like the lawsuit. They might try to make it go slower.

The Supreme Court usually does not talk about quick appeals. They usually talk about the main problem.

The government did not ask the court about the big problem now. If the court agrees with the government, we don't know how long the rules about people born in the US will be different in different places.

We will know by the end of June.
