The Trump administration on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to allow it to enforce an executive order signed by President Donald Trump ending birthright citizenship – the guarantee of citizenship to virtually anyone born in the United States. In a trio of near-identical filings by Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris, the administration urged the justices to partially block preliminary injunctions, issued by federal district judges in Seattle, Maryland, and Massachusetts, that bar the government from implementing Trump’s executive order anywhere in the country.
If they “allow” that then the constitution is really just pointless
Establishing a precedent to rewrite the constitution by EO and get it rubber stamped by SCOTUS is the point, not a consequence.
… or they’re just removing “outdated” SCOTUS decisions, like the overturning of Roe
Birthright citizenship was originally a SCOTUS decision
Not only is this scary, but plausible. The Trump SCOTUS absolutely loves re-interpreting common sense and SCOTUS precedent supported legal and constitutional rights. Shit could change real quick with this one.
Exactly, removing birthright citizenship should only be possible through a constitutional convention. It’s not up to SCOTUS what parts of the constitution we do and don’t recognize.
Well they already chose not to honor the 14th amendment by allowing Trump to run for and hold office ….pretty sure that means the constitution doesn’t mean crap to the current SCOTSUS
Unfortunately it is up to SCOTUS what parts are recognized.
“We are not final because we are infallible, but we are infallible only because we are final.”
Been pointless with certain cases getting highlighted so the public feels like the government is actually working for them every so often like those feel good stories on the news
