The Supreme Court will hold a special session Thursday morning to review a case involving President Donald Trump’s effort to ban automatic U.S. citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants and foreign visitors.
It is the first time the justices are hearing arguments related to one of the new administration’s initiatives and the last scheduled argument of the court’s term.
The question before the justices does not directly address the constitutionality of the president’s birthright citizenship order, which opponents say is at odds with the 14th Amendment, past court rulings and the nation’s history.
Instead, the Trump administration has asked the justices to lift or narrow orders imposed by three lower-court judges that have blocked his policy from taking effect while its legality is tested in court. Presidents in both parties, members of Congress and several Supreme Court justices have long criticized such nationwide injunctions for putting too much power in the hands of individual judges to halt a president’s agenda.
the last scheduled argument of the court’s term.
So we can already predict that they’re going to overtly rule against precedent, the rule of law and the Constitution and in favor of Trump and the oligarchs. They save those rulings for last so that they can immediately disappear and avoid the condemnation they so richly deserve for their role in destroying the US.
The SUPREME COURT? That will Stop Trump!
