shooting across there. we were really enjoying it here in the studio. let's check in with our meteorologist gayle ong. hey gayle, hello. yes. tonight is the perfect night for laser that down right before the show. it's breeze out there. not a strong push in the winds and it is a mostly clear in san francisco. i know that. >> the show goes through the weekend so we may see partly cloudy skies on saturday and sunday. >> but other than that, it's really nice out for tonight. so lets take a look at sunday's forecast for the parade on market street that starts at 10:00am. temperatures looks like we'll be in the low 60's with partly cloudy skies and a cool breeze. but temperatures should bump up to the upper 60's in san francisco. so very nice said sunday on tap. so let's take a look at the wake-up planner waking up to cloudy skies. we have been seeing this june gloom in the morning, especially by the coastline. but a lot of afternoon sun numbers will be in the 50's and 60's eventually warming up into the 70's and 80's around the bay

inland. so today was that hot day. it looks like we'll see another hot day in store for you in linwood, close to 90 degree weather. we cool down just a bit on sunday monday, but another warm-up is on the way next week. we'll have your 7 day forecast when i come back. >> gail, thanks a lot from the state capitol to capitol hill, san francisco state senator scott wiener is eyeing a seat in congress. the senator has just filed paperwork with the intention of replacing democratic icon nancy pelosi. wiener has previously said he would be interested in filling the seat once the former house speaker decides not to run again. pelosi's daughter christine pelosi has been mentioned as a possible candidate. sonoma state, political science professor david mckeown says wiener might be trying to get ahead of the curve. thus a big move. it's a preemptive move because scott wiener's trying to get ahead of nancy pelosi's daughter, christine pelosi, who sits on the dnc and has indicated possible interest in that seat. so that

>> primary, that democratic primary and who succeeds nancy pelosi is going to be explosive. it's going to be very divisive. and obviously nancy pelosi wants to have some role in who comes next. winners filing with the federal elections committee shows his campaign would be for the 2028 election, but >> if pelosi chooses not to run in 2026, we could very well change course. we also asked david mcewan about today's major supreme court rulings, including one that could significantly impact president trump's efforts to change birthright citizenship laws. the president's executive order signed in january seeks to deny citizenship to children who are born to people who are living in the united states illegally or temporarily. it's part of the hardline immigration agenda for the president who has called birthright citizenship. a magnet for illegal immigration. the high court's ruling sends cases challenging the president's birth right

citizenship. executive order back to the lower courts. but the ultimate fate of the president's policy still remains uncertain. is that this is a court that is divided, but it's politically driven and that political motivation. you also see. >> in the dissent from justice sotomayor and the other 2 democrats. and so the really frankly, there's a lot of a lack of clarity is a very turgid are unclear. decision out of today out of this bank of decisions, particularly on birthright citizenship. but if you're the president and his team, you have to feel pretty emboldened. >> well, here in san francisco city attorney david chiu is reacting to the ruling saying that he believes birthright citizenship will be upheld. kron 4 charles clifford reports. >> well, san francisco city attorney says he is disappointed in today's supreme court ruling, but he believes in the long run, birthright citizenship will be upheld when president trump issued his executive order limiting birthright citizenship on january. 20th, san francisco immediately signed on to a lawsuit

challenging that order. >> 3 district court judges then issued a universal injunction against the president. this most recent decision by the supreme court doesn't address the legality of the executive order but instead limits the ability of lower courts to issue brought injunctions. today's supreme court decision has profoundly disturbing implications for will flop. >> city attorney david chiu says he is disappointed in the ruling and worries that it could set a dangerous precedent. >> the ruling will deprive court sunlit against in many circumstances of an important tool to check the power of this administration. >> the ability to craft universal injunctions, the supreme court has ordered a 30 day pause before the president's executive order can take effect. and in that time lower courts can re examine the issue. nothing about today's decision suggests that we will not ultimately prevail on the merits >> chew says he believes in the case against the president's executive order and is confident the courts will agree with him. we can and will continue to pursue

our case to defend birthright citizenship in america. >> now, 2 did not offer any timeline for when he thought the district courts might take up this case again. but for now in san francisco, charles clifford kron, 4 news. >> well, the court also issued several other key rulings, including preserving a part of the affordable care act's preventative health care coverage requirements. the court also upheld a law preventing kids from accessing online and ruled that parents can opt out of lgbtq related school readings over religious objections. president trump called that ruling great for parents equality. california, though issued a statement in response saying donald trump's supreme court has issued another ruling that further marginalizes lgbtq+ people and their lived experience. today's ruling sets a dangerous precedent that leads to a slippery of what curriculum for instructional materials can be opted out of.
