The USSC has made their decision. If it’s not the “law of the land” and a lower court can ignore its ruling, what’s the point of having a USSC?

Did I miss something stated in the Constitution?

Yeah, they’ll have to decide whether to take their US-citizen newborn with them when they’re deported, or just leave them here to be adopted by somebody else.

Crockette leads all the RAT “man buns” in the latest poll for the Texas Senate seat. Everybody knows Paxton has that seat in the bag so the RATS are going with a bag full of female sexual organs as their big winner.

So now the judges are admitting that fetuses have legal rights? Or is the case unripe, because there is only “damage” done after the child is born and citizenship is not recognized?

Seems to me that for this to be a class-action suit you’d have to have a bunch of plaintiffs whose citizenship was not recognized. Otherwise it would not be ripe.

Am I misunderstanding the case?

I have family in NH and was just recently visiting.
NH is about as far as you can go from being touched by illegals.
I was there for a week and saw nothing but good Americans who’s families have clearly been here for a very long time.

Send him to TX or AZ for a week on a paid vacation and he might change is tune.

Has ANYONE read the Judge’s Order?

I thought so.

“Just ignore them, what can this or any Judge do?”

That is the Andrew Jackson approach: They have their ruling. Now let’s see them enforce it.

Time to rein-in the black robes.

That ship sailed a long time ago. The only recourse in the Constitution is (1) for Congress to enact law that restricts or eliminates federal judges (save SCOTUS) (2) Impeach and remove tyrant judges. (3) SCOTUS to clarify/interpret/define the federal judiciary role to clearly and unequivocally end their obstruction of Article II powers.

Unfortunately, we should not expect a TDS, RINO, Congress and SCOTUS to do what's required.

It’s the class action status that allowed him to circumvent the SCOTUS decision. I don’t think his accepting that status will hold up on appeal.

It is not as simple as saying “I agree these people are a class entitled to such status.” That has to be proven and the proofs are spelled out in Federal law.

Precisely right. The previous legal jihad strategy failed at the local level so the Left took the next step up. So far its working for them as the USSC has utterly failed (refused) to deal with it. And so the result is widespread legal dysfunction.

Yes he does. The class action status probably will not hold up but granting it does mean a nationwide injunction can be issued. That is not new and SCOTUS did not change that in its ruling.

No, it is the many posters here who can not read or understand SCOTUS’ decision.

The granting of a class action status has always allowed a judge to issue a nationwide injunction. SCOTUS was clear judges could not issue nationwide injunctions in exception to that procedure. A judge in Houston could not issue a nationwide injunction when a individual’s claim was before him. Nor could a judge in Boston issue such for a defendant in Houston.

The class action claim will likely does not meet the required criteria but that will be decided when the case actually gets to court or when Trump appeals the decision.

It’s not a back door. Nationwide injunctions for class action lawsuits are nothing new.

The 14th Amendment says “all persons”. The originalist reading means ALL Persons. All of a sudden FR is cuckoo for dynamic construction of the Constitution?

The remedy is a constitutional amendment redefining the construction of 14A. I have no objection to that.

I would hope then that the class action expedites the case. I expect, of course, that the lower courts will rule against the administration. SCOTUS will then have to decide if the clause “under the jurisdiction thereof” includes the children of illegals and temporary visitors.
