Justices to take up case amid legal fight over order to heavily restrict right to birthright citizenship in US
The US supreme court agreed on Friday to decide the legality of Donald Trump’s order to heavily restrict the right to birthright citizenship, the long-held constitutional principle that individuals born on US soil are automatically citizens, in the United States.
The justices will hear the president’s request to uphold his executive order on birthright citizenship, issued just hours after Trump took office for his second term and immediately blocked from taking effect.
The order was a contentious part of the administration’s far-reaching immigration crackdown – and a step that would transform the interpretation of a 19th-century constitutional provision.
There’s no decision, but this band of thieves hasn’t let that stop them yet.
Well, since Trump’s parents are immigrants then I guess he cant be President under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5. Seems like the only logical conclusion.
Seeing as Im Native American, which at one point was 100% of the American population but is now 2%, I’ll probably know our next President or have a decent shot at it.
I’m all for giving native Americans a lopsided amount of representation in America.
It’s an open and shut case. There is no rational legal argument for ending birthright citizenship.
Unfortunately, this court doesn’t seem to feel bound by little things like laws, precedents, the constitution or reality. If I had to bet on the outcome, I’d assume they will give Trump what he wants yet again. I want to be wrong about that, but at this point I think it’s a safer bet to assume this court will always do the worst thing possible.
Let’s take bets on the results
Getting ready to rubber stamp it!
Best case scenario, this was taken to keep birthright citizenship and make other god awful rulings seem more palatable.
