That same court essentially made the president a king and agreed he could kill his political enemy and get away with it, as long as he says it was in the national interest. We all said they would not overthrow Roe v. Wade... and here we are. You vastly overestimate this court.

What you'll find is justices reverting to what the framers intended, not the most liberal interpretation of that phrase in 2024. If they went that direction, the EO likely stands. The best way to reverse the EO is to have no one challenge it for 4 years, and how a Dem wins in 2028.
I beg to differ. I believe executive orders that impinge on the very fabric of the US constitution should be challenged at the supreme court. If not the executive would get bolder and bolder and issue executive orders eroding the very fabric of the US democracy, and in 4 years, might refuse to leave. Challenging it all the way to the supreme court will take time and energy, and keep trump and his team too busy from doing too much damage to the constitution in 4 years.

Let me add.
I believe the supreme court would not be bold enough to jettison birthright citizenship and would refer the matter back to Congress. It will then get stuck in Congress until Trump leaves as republicans would need a 3/4 majority to change the constitution.

This guy gives me joy. These are one of the reasons I campaigned for him 2016. He is sure to put your block head straight, either as President or as citizens. No time for drama

End of the road!

A lot of litigations will follow, but with a Republican parked SCOTUS, I kinda see it as a done deal.

Those morafvckers will flip anything for Trump.
They won’t. It is expressly written in the constitution. There is hardly a way to reinterpret that. And besides, that they’re conservative justices doesn’t mean they’ll side trump. Two of them voted against Trump barely a week to allow the conviction.

Trump has only 4 years to do all his nonsense, after that, another executive order will return it back.

It is that easy, soldier go, soldier come besides the courts can still strike it down.

The EO banning birthright citizenship is unconstitutional. But with a right-leaning SCOTUS, it can be dragged for a while. But to be effective, it will have to be codified in the US constitution, which won't be easy.

Does he know how much the US economy will be losing by stopping this? And this is the man that knows business... Lol!

free2ryhme:
The U.S. Supreme Court justices can be analyzed on a liberal-to-conservative spectrum based on their judicial philosophies, voting patterns, and opinions on key issues:

Liberal Justices:
1. Ketanji Brown Jackson – Consistently liberal, advocating for progressive stances on issues like civil rights, voting rights, and equity.
2. Sonia Sotomayor – The most liberal justice, frequently championing individual rights, social justice, and government accountability.
3. Elena Kagan – Liberal but pragmatic, often building coalitions and writing moderate opinions to influence broader decisions.

Swing or Moderate Lean:
1. John Roberts (Chief Justice) – Though conservative, Roberts occasionally sides with liberals in pivotal cases to maintain institutional integrity, especially on matters like healthcare or voting rights.
2. Brett Kavanaugh – A conservative with moderate tendencies, occasionally siding with liberals on cases involving individual rights or regulatory matters.

Conservative Justices:
1. Amy Coney Barrett – Strongly conservative, often siding with religious liberty and originalist interpretations of the Constitution.
2. Neil Gorsuch – Conservative with libertarian streaks, particularly on criminal justice and Native American sovereignty issues.
3. Samuel Alito – Among the most conservative, focusing on issues like religious freedom and opposing expansive interpretations of rights.
4. Clarence Thomas – The most conservative justice, advocating for strict originalism and limited government.

Spectrum Summary:
Liberal Wing: Jackson, Sotomayor, Kagan.
Moderates: Roberts, occasionally Kavanaugh.
Conservative Wing: Gorsuch, Barrett, Alito, Thomas.
In other words, you have 4 reliable yes votes to the EO, with two swing votes. You only need 1 to get to 5.

wirinet:
I honestly do not know any other way the term "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" can be interpreted in the statement "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside", other than the jurisdiction of the United States.
As I said the 6 - 3 republican majority supreme court will have to employ legal gymnastics of Olympic proportions to reinterpre that section of the 14th amendment.
You're viewing this from the lens of 2024. It's not the first time this case has come to the Supreme Court and in fact, the 1899 Wong Art Kim ruling is how we understand the 14th amendment today. If the court could overturn Roe v. Wade, they can overturn Wong's ruling.

A woman once went to the market empty handed. Without money, she looked left and right and saw so many beautiful things she would have loved to buy.
But because she did have the money and could not afford those things, do you know what she said?
She said, “ how I wish there is commotion in this market now”.
My ability to afford or not is not the matter of discourse and my comment was stated as a fact and not mocking the people that does it before so rest
