Oral arguments Thursday in the birthright citizenship dispute and universal injunctions

On May 15, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the federal government’s efforts to be able to generally implement President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship – the guarantee of citizenship to virtually everyone born in the United States.

The dispute is one of the relatively rare proceedings that came to the justices as an emergency appeal – on the so-called “shadow docket” – only to be set for oral arguments.

Though the dispute comes to the justices through challenges to Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship, the primary issue before the court on Thursday is whether lower-court judges can issue what are known as universal injunctions to block an order nationwide. With a universal injunction, a federal judge (or several in this case) can bar the government from enforcing an executive order – or, in another case, a law or policy – anywhere in the country. The Trump administration, which has been blocked by many such injunctions in recent months, argues that the practice is unconstitutional.

This is a complete non-starter. I’m surprised it’s gotten this far. I guess Roberts wants to settle this once and for all.

This is going to be like somebody putting out a cigarette with their shoe. The U.S. judiciary is going to snuff out Americans again. Foreigners FIRST, AMERICA LAST!

I wouldn’t bet on the Supreme Court to do anything but pass the buck or kick the can down the road they have spent to much time handing down on soft issues.

This is a complete non-starter.

It’s already over.

Roberts, Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett will predictably vote to keep it.
