Looks like birthright citizenship issue will eventually get to SCOTUS. The decision in the nationwide injunction case bodes well for a proper decision in the birthright citizenship cases because the Court based its decision there on a careful historic analysis of the equity powers of the Federal courts, concluding that such nationwide power was not contemplated in Congress original decision to grant equity powers to the Federal courts. If SCOTUS follows through with that line of reasoning in the birthright cases, it should rule in favor of the EO because the history of the 14th Amendment shows it was intended primarily to benefit former slaves and their descendants.

Yes. It was a mistake to not make it clearer way back then, and when you read the historical context, it is pretty clear the 14th Amendment was not meant to allow someone to become an American citizen because their mother crawled onto a beach and had a baby.

It was meant to address the status of people who had been slaves.

[bigbob]

Well this is the right way to do it. The class and mass action lawsuit option was created for this purpose, but rather than use it, they shopped for judges who would issue universal injunctions. Now it is following the proper course at least.

[scan_complete]

I understood the SC banned nationwide injunctions from district justices. They don’t seem to care because absolutely nothing happens to them.

[Starboard]

The ruling from US District Judge Joseph Laplante is significant because the Supreme Court last month curbed the power of lower court judges to issue nationwide injunctions

*************

No it didn't deter them. To the country, USSC weakness only encouraged them to keep issuing more blocking injunctions.

[ripnbang]

The exception from that ruling is if it is a class action suit, which in this case it is. So now it will proceed to SCOTUS and be decided (hopefully) once and for all.

Eff off, judge.

Ain't NO WAY that THIS USSC (Robert's Court) is gonna eliminate Anchor Babies. With the borders closed, it's the ONLY way they can continue to import "dozens of family members", and assure that non-citizens can STILL drop in to the USA and plop an anchor baby.

ussc left a loophole for a class action which this is

[dware]

an abrupt change of policy that was longstanding

Screw the law! This is how we been doing it, so the law doesn't actually matter.

[SaxxonWoods]

Does the fact that Trump doesn’t try to do this through congress tell us all we need to know about congress?

[RightOnTheBorder]

Don’t you have to be identified in order to be part of the class. Sounds like a good way to create a list of kids whose parents need deportin’.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Time to throw this ball back in the SCOTUS’ court. Maybe they can change it to anyone, regardless of citizenship, who passes a deuce inside the U.S. borders is automatically a “U.S. Citizen”. This is just following along the lines the court has already established.

[tumblindice]

Apparently there is no mechanism for the titular head the judicial branch, the SCOTUS to discipline its inferior court judges.
Lawless, renegade federal district court judges. Go figger.

[tumblindice]

This federal district courts “thumbing their noses” at the SCOTUS pretty much supports my assertion, the only real power the judicial branch has is the deference paid to it by the other two branches and the people.

[shanover]

This and everything else that POTUS Trump has established through EO is going to have to be codified by worthless Congress especially this insanity of instant Americans. I doubt most of it will.

[Bonemaker]

Supreme Court gets punked again.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Time for the SCOTUS to decide if they are with the American people or the DemonRATs and the world’s Birthright Vacation industries. The Chinese love ‘em.

[reagandemocrat]

If the “class” consists of unborn children, apparently the ACLU now supports the rights of the unborn.

Doesn’t get much dirtier than a (W) Bush nominee with Georgetown undergrad and law degrees.
