A fourth federal judge blocked President Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order.
US District Judge for the District of Massachusetts Leo Sorokin, and Obama appointee, blocked Trump’s order and said in a 31-page ruling that loss of birthright citizenship, even if temporary, and later restored can likely leave ‘permanent scars.’
CBS News reported:
[A fourth federal judge on Thursday blocked President Trump’s executive order seeking to terminate birthright citizenship
U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin, who sits on the federal district court in Massachusetts, said that a group of 19 states and the District of Columbia, as well as two nonprofit organizations, are likely to prevail on the merits of their claims. The challengers have argued that Mr. Trump’s executive order, issued on his first day in office, violates the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment.
“The Constitution confers birthright citizenship broadly, including to persons within the categories described in the EO,” Sorokin, appointed by former President Barack Obama, wrote in a 31-page decision.]
According to President Trump’s order, the 14th Amendment is being misinterpreted by the left to give citizenship to ‘anchor babies.’
“It is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United States citizenship, to persons: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth,” Trump’s order stated.

This one I get. All the rest of them are lawfare and not the judges’ business.
Sigh.
These fleabags in black robes are panicked. If illegal alien foreigners can’t get U.S. citizenship by crapping an anchor on American ground, the RATS will never win an election again. They rely on foreigners to win. Americans refuse to vote for RATS.
No authority...
‘ No authority...’
It literally is, per the constitution.
It also isn’t the authority of the president to interpret the constitution.
There are procedures to interpret or change the constitution and it’s not by executive orders.
Had Biden signed an executive order that changes the court interpretation of the second amendment, you’d be cool with that?
He’s going to have to go the constitutional amendment route. Should have gone that way to begin with.
Ignore and remove judge. Apparently Jefferson did it, so can Trump.
And not just for any reason. For any judge trying to impede the president from doing his job.
Why is this guy’s name Sorokin familiar to me?
Trump is higher than the constitution. He is even better than Jesus because Jesus was poor.
Back to your games again, huh?
When you were a kid, were you known as a tattle tale?
The Constitution is silent on who has plenary power to interpret the Constitution.
The Supreme Court decided on its own that the Supreme Court has the authority to interpret the Constitution and nobody has challenged it, but the authority to interpret the Constitution is not in the Constitution at all.
Example:
The Constitution describes "high crimes and misdemeanors" as a reason for impeaching a President, but the Supreme Court doesn't get to define what makes a "high crime and misdemeanor" -- Congress does.

You came on this site, an America site, and crap talked the greatest, freest, most generous Nation that has ever existed. The Nation that has done more for the World than any other. Discusting.
Yup, he’s going to lose this one. Start the constitutional amendment.
When does this get to SCOTUS to be settled AGAIN?
And the one most prone to self-delusion. The word “Truth” is the most mis-used word here.
This is actually good news. The quicker this gets to SCOTUS the quicker it will be fixed. Trump is absolutely correct in this
And you continue it. Rhe World should get down and kiss America’s a—s for everything we have done.
