Donny has been trying really hard to see the babies born on US soil to non-citizens lose their right to be Americans for being born here….
The Supreme Court upheld the principle of birthright citizenship on Tuesday, handing President Trump a major defeat on one of his signature immigration initiatives. In the 6-3 ruling, the court backed the idea that nearly all children born on US soil are American citizens, no matter the status of their parents. Chief Justice John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett joined the three liberal justices in striking down an executive order issued by Trump, reports SCOTUSblog and the New York Times. Roberts wrote the majority opinion.
The concept of birthright citizenship has been in place for more than a century under the 14th Amendment, which stipulates that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” The Trump administration disagrees with the interpretation of the sentence. But Roberts’ opinion declares:
- “Citizenship, then and now was the right to have rights—to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to ‘every free-born person in this land.’ We keep that promise today.”
- In a sign of how much the case mattered to the White House, Trump attended oral arguments in person earlier this year. The ruling could affect the legal status of about 250,000 babies a year, notes Reuters.
One of the few times that the judges did not side with Donny Do-Little….why?
You can bet that the little nazi fucker Miller will be working on the next way to try and take citizenship away from some Americans.
I do not think this issue is dead just yet…..
What do you think of this turn?
I Read, I* Write, You KNow
“lego ergo scribo”
No doubt it will be amended to all babies born of at least one American parent. Miller won”t let this go.
