The US president issued an executive order in 2025 that seeks to undo constitutional right to birthright citizenship
The US supreme court on Wednesday appeared poised to protect birthright citizenship, the longstanding policy that babies born in the US are American citizens, in what would be a blow to a key immigration policy for Donald Trump.
The court heard oral arguments with Trump himself in attendance inside the courtroom’s public gallery. A majority of justices asked questions indicating skepticism about the government’s attempt to overturn birthright citizenship. But while some expected the case to be a clearcut win for those challengingthe government, it is unclear how many justices might side with Trump. A decision is expected this summer.
If birthright citizenship is overturned, hundreds of thousands of children born annually would be blocked from US citizenship.
The fact they’re even hearing this case shows how corrupt this court is. Might as well call it a case on “is the 14th amendment real?”
This is much further reaching than a single amendment. If they side with him, it means the president alone and gets to decide what is and isn’t legal and what Constitutional rights we’re allowed to have. Gone will be the 2/3 majority of Congress on Constitutional matters and the three separate branches of government.
3/4 majority on constitutional changes. 2/3 to bring it to the floor, 3/4 to make a change. Or 3/4 of states to sign on to an amendment.
Indeed that is what i said too. They are looking for any excuse to enable a dictatorship here, the antithesis of their oaths. The great betrayal already happened and nobody realized the significance, when they cancelled nationwide injunctions by judges.
It should be obvious why that is such a big deal.
If they let him unilaterally end it, then the constitution is toothless forever more.
Note also it means none of us are citizens unless and until he declares it so. Does not matter if we are 15th generation and our ancestors fought in the revolution.
The fact they are entertaining cancelling a constitutional amendment, a power they don’t have, already damns them and exposes them for the traitors they are.
They’re not skeptical about birthright citizenship in and of itself, they’re just skeptical about this specific argument to end it. If they did decide to end it they’d want it to be rock solid and hard to argue against and not whatever the hell they were presented here.
Will all the people who said this court is fully corrupted and will side with Trump on being a full on fascist eat their hats when they overturn this joke of an EO?
