The U.S. Supreme court Thursday deferred any ruling on President Trump’s claim that there is no automatic guarantee to birthright citizenship in the Constitution.
The court said it would hear arguments in the case on May 15, with a decision likely by late June or early July.
The court gave no indication that it plans to consider other related question raised by the Trump administration, which complained to the court that about the ability of single district court judges to issue rulings that cover the entire country in cases like this one.
To date, every court to have considered Trump’s executive order banning birth right citizenship, issued on day one of his administration, has blocked it. But he has doggedly persisted in his contention that birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, an idea widely considered a fringe view because the Supreme Court ruled to the contrary 127 years ago, and that decision has never been disturbed.
Honestly if they don’t do anything about him ignoring their order to return Abrego Garcia then who gives a shit? Can’t have it both ways. Decisions and hearings don’t matter if a 9-0 decision isn’t being enforced.
Yeah, until something big changes, the SCOTUS is effectively theater.
