It will do little to stop the lower courts from continuing to flood the country with nationwide injunctions interfering with the Trump Administration.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in three consolidated cases concerning the propriety of the nationwide injunctions entered against the Trump Administration barring implementation of the president’s birthright citizenship executive order. While President Trump seems assured of scoring a victory from the Supreme Court in these cases, a win will do little to stop the lower courts from continuing to flood the country with nationwide injunctions interfering with the Trump Administration’s execution of its American-first agenda.
The reason why is simple: The issue before the Supreme Court is narrow and does not concern the propriety of nationwide injunctions in cases brought under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). And the majority of nationwide injunctions entered against the Trump Administration since the president returned to Washington came in cases challenging decisions under the APA.
Not so, though, for the cases being heard on Thursday. Those three cases all involve nationwide injunctions entered based on the lower courts’ conclusion that the president’s January 20, 2025, Executive Order concerning birthright citizenship violates the citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which provides: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
Legal scholars vehemently disagree over whether that clause guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the United States, or limits such birthright citizenship to persons born in the United States whose parents are legal permanent residents. That question is not yet before the Supreme Court — although it likely will be next term. Instead, the Trump Administration filed an application before the Supreme...

Who said it would?
This is a vapid premise.
Roberts won’t give him a win.
Trump should tell Roberts that deportations are just a tax.
Done worry , the Supreme Court won’t give Trump a win.
As president and elected by all the people, Trump should say that he won’t recognize district court nationwide injunctions. He will only recognize SCOTUS decisions. If Trump’s DOJ doesn’t appeal a district courts order, it will die on the vine.
"In his application for a stay, the president stressed he had but “a ‘modest’ request” for the Supreme Court: Rather than request a stay of the injunction in total, to allow the president’s EO to take effect, the Trump Administration sought only to “restrict the scope” of the preliminary injunctions “to the parties actually within the courts’ power.” In other words, the Trump Administration attacked only the “nationwide” scope of the injunction."
In other words, this case really isn't about the topic of Birthright Citizenship, as that is merely only superficially tied to the question actually being litigated, which is whether a District judge has any authority -- given that the Administrative Procedures Act is not involved -- to issue a nationwide injunction at all.
Sounds like the Administration is treading very carefully here, perhaps trying to chip away and not demand that SCOTUS give them everything at once... which, given this court, is probably the right strategy (even though it may require them a couple more years to get this entire deconstruction project completed).
Republicans have a 6-3 majority on the SCOTUS.
A majority in the house and senate.
And they control the White House.
The fact that there is so much trepidation among the Republican electorate speaks volumes.
The solution: stop electing squishes.
This is about giving America a win. The Trump hate never stops.
Congress could be doing their job to stop a lot of this too.
That is only if they decide to stay, actually work, and quit going on vacations.
So easy to say, so difficult to do.both parties are against the American people.
I’m expecting a 5-4 decision the wrong way. 😣
We can’t dig up dirt on this fag? We can’t investigate/ do a deep dive into the lobster picture?
“While President Trump seems assured of scoring a victory from the Supreme Court in these cases”
Nonsense.
LOL! Good one!
The dirt in Washington DC is a suicide pact. This stuff is not meant to be used publicly, I suspect. We would have seen it by now.
Or... and I just had this thought... the manner of releasing the dirt has to be very, very subtle. Hillary’s ham-handed Trump dossier was too direct to be the “kill-shot” that she intended.
Talk about a punchable face!
A similar challenge involving the APA is surely coming down the pipeline now, so it shouldn’t be long before its settled.
Common sense, and the law as I read it, says one lowly district court judge can not halt the business of the executive. For Roberts to allow it severely discredits the institution to which he’s hoping to restore creditability.
Trump will just ignore similar injunctions, appeal, and proceed.....I hope.
This is a "third rail" issue that affects people all the way back to the civil war era. Personally, I don't think the supremes want to touch it, it's just too big.
