In a divided decision in the case Trump v. Barbara, the Supreme Court found that Mr. Trump's policy is unlawful.

Someone prominent should mention the Supreme Court just rendered the significance of what it means to be a citizen of the United States meaningless.

I may be dramatic here, but this potentially may lead to a bloody future.
