EXCERPT:

COLBERT: "It’s been a rough week watching the Trump Administration re-trample our norms and laws. But we just got a little good news, ladies and gentlemen, because this afternoon, a federal judge blocked Trump’s order ending birthright citizenship. (Cheering and Applause)
Yeah, baby! Blocked it. That means every baby born in this country is a citizen, and has the right to life, liberty, and pumpable cheese. This  ruling came from Reagan-appointed judge John Coughenour, seen here embodying how everyone is feeling right now.
(Laughter)
Now, remember, birthright citizenship is a legal principle enshrined in the Constitution. And for Coughenour, this was not a close call. He described Trump’s executive order as 'blatantly unconstitutional.'
(Applause)
Isn’t that nice? Isn’t that nice that it is just so blunt?”
