Summary
Donald Trump signed an executive order to challenge birthright citizenship, targeting children of undocumented immigrants born in the U.S.
The order argues against the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship for those born on U.S. soil.
It bars federal agencies from recognizing birthright citizenship and imposes a 30-day waiting period for enforcement.
The order is expected to face significant legal challenges, with critics calling it unconstitutional.
If only trump controlled the highest court in all the land. A “supreme” court, if you will.
That said, trump and his allies have been pretty open that the idea is to spam EOs to demoralize people and distract them from what they are really doing. And, in this case, Legal Eagle (and Liz Dye) kind of already explained it:
The idea will be to declare a border crisis (done) to give the potus wider reaching powers. Same with declaring Mexican cartels as terrorists (they kind of are, but not to us). The combination of those mean they can invade sanctuary cities under “national security” excuses and can argue that illegal immigrants are enemy combatants which DO have a carve out.
The “quirk” of Kamala no longer being a citizen because her parents were here under student (?) visas MIGHT get struck down. But the real goal of populating labor camps with brown people is right on track.
If Trump actually controlled the Supreme Court, we never would have had a president Biden. The Supreme Court mainly cares about increasing their own power. They’d never allow the office of the president to have the power to overturn the constitution by fiat.
…
trump has a ruling from the supreme court that he can’t be punished for anything that he considers an “official act”. And the entire point of “stop the steal” and “stall for time” was to get the 2020 election up in front of the supreme court. Instead, pence showed a backbone for the only time in his life and it became a violent insurrection attempt instead.
They literally ruled that anything Trump does is an official act, and he cannot be charged for it. And, he already has self-pardon, so any “loophole” the SCOTUS comes up with, he just pardons himself.
And, he sends men with guns, under an official act, to get rid of the SCOTUS justices that disagreed with him… And he will select new ones.
