“Cody Wofsy, the lead attorney on the case with the American Civil Liberties Union, argued for class-action status in front of U.S. District Judge Joseph Laplante Thursday morning, stating that their clients would suffer irreparable harm by being denied birthright citizenship, a claim with which the judge found credible.”

In what sense is it irreparable?

If President Trump’s executive order were found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, the children would be conferred citizenship.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Supreme Court evades the central question and rules these parents have no standing. But I hope they resolve it in a way that opens the door to evaluate the citizenship of millions of anchor babies who were already conferred citizenship wrongfully.

Seems like the plaintiff is a target-rich list for deportation.

“If the Judges are ignoring SCOTUS, then Trump should ignore the Judges.”

This judge is not ignoring SCOTUS, he is doing what SCOTUS specifically told him he could do.

Suddenly the unborn are people WITH rights.

That’s a great point!

RE: Pregnancy test for every female coming into the country.

Bill Clinton would do personal physical exams of the women along with supervising the lab tests and results.

Takes the pressure off others straining under the DOGE staff reductions and he’s happy to volunteer. 🥼 🩺

Yes. I saw this EO going nowhere. Good try, but it was bound to fail according to the 14th.

Natalie Winters on “War Room” said that Norm Eisen is behind this.

“The Supreme Court’s decision last month restricted judges’ authority to block presidential orders nationwide, as opposed to just within their jurisdictions. But it allowed judges to issue such nationwide decisions in class-action cases, leading immigrant rights organizations and others to file several additional legal challenges to the birthright citizenship order that are now moving through the courts.”

This is the last paragraph.

The Supreme Court addressed this language specifically in Elk v. Wilkins, 112 U.S. 94 1884

In this case the SC held that Native Americans were not citizens by birth under the 14A because, the evident meaning of these last words (subject to the jurisdiction thereof) is not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction and owing them direct and immediate allegiance. And the words relate to the time of birth in the one case, as they do to the time of naturalization in the other. Persons not thus subject to the jurisdiction of the United States at the time of birth cannot become so afterwards except by being naturalized, either individually, as by proceedings under the naturalization acts, or collectively, as by the force of a treaty by which foreign territory is acquired.

NA’s exclusion from birthright citizenship directly mirrors the type where a pregnant interloper steals onto our shores and drops out a child, neither ever being completely subject to their political jurisdiction and owing them direct and immediate allegiance.

And here the Leftists have been saying the unborn are mere “fetal tissue” unworthy of regarding as life, all the way up to the moment of birth. But now we’re to consider them not only alive but worthy of citizenship?

Which is it?

Interesting conundrum for the baby killers. Another wrinkle to consider, do Catholic, illegal Dem slave butt wipers embrace the pro aborts?

HaveCakeSwinishness

Obama's third term emboldened the swine at their trough of hypocrisy. Now that Law is regaining balance they're resorting to desperate lies and violence.

Squeal, pigs, squeal.

Not entirely. The SC ruled if the suits were class action suits, then a district judge could issue a nationwide injunction. So this is what will happen from now on.

And a French judge ... (the jokes write themselves)

From Amir Tsarfati news feed:

" A French court ruled that Gaza residents are allowed to seek asylum in France

According to the article in Le Figaro newspaper, the court based its decision on the Geneva Convention, which states that people facing "persecution on grounds of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion" should be considered refugees. Now let’s see if the France will accept them."
