Today's a big day in SCOTUSlandia. (link)
The Supreme Court of the United States will release their decision regarding birthright citizenship, supposedly around 10am ET.
Why It Matters
The Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides that all children born in the United States are automatically American citizens.
But the issue before the justices in Trump v. CASA is not the lawfulness of Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship for some people. Rather, they are weighing whether judges have the authority to issue the nationwide, or universal, injunctions, that have blocked Trump's order from being implemented. [Emphesis mine]
I don’t know but that
sounds like double talk to me. Trying to
use a back door to get your way (get in).
Question 1: Did Trump lie when he swore:
"I do
solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of
President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve,
protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."[2] [Emphasis mine]
Question 2: Just how far back can Trump deport people born of illegal immigrants? E.g., illegal
parents have a child, who then has a child, who then has a child? Is that third generation to be deported
also? That’s like blaming today’s people
for their ancestors having slaves.
Where’s the end to it?
Question 3: What do you predict the ruling will be? 5-4, 6-3, etc.
