Trump tries to end birthright citizenship with an executive order (1 Viewer)

I think this deserves its own thread. Perhaps we can try to migrate discussion from the other thread to this one.

Here is the Executive Order:

Protecting The Meaning And Value Of American Citizenship – The White House

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.

www.whitehouse.gov

The order presents itself on existing good-ground to exclude children of unlawful immigrants, but that's false - the term "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" does not have an ambiguous history.

Twenty-two states and others filed immediate lawsuits to suspend and ultimately rescind the order.

The 4th Circuit has now joined the 9th Circuit in refusing to alter a district court injunction prohibiting the executive order from being carried out - nationwide.

Be nice if all 13 Circuits weighed in the same.

The fact that one judge dissented is worrying to me. This of all things should be a slam dunk.

I’m still worried that this particular Supreme Court will at least partially give Trump a victory. We know there will be automatically 2 Justices that will rule in Trump’s favor.

The dissent isn't about the citizenship issue - it's purely over whether it's wise to have multiple nationwide injunctions over the same single executive order proceeding on their own appellate timelines in different circuits.

Purely a judicial management issue, not the case at all.

Oh good, that makes me feel better.
