Una don start with this una madness all these lefties and their judiciary rascals
Judicial rascal about a matter that is very clear in the US constitution?

It is only an ACT of Congress can repeal birthright citizenship.
Trump is a common criminal who have no single clue how the constitution of his country works.

Is federal judge the POTUS now? Dem never see anything.
Do a refresher on the 3 branches of Government.
The President can't overwrite the Constitution of the US which he tried to do here.

It was so bad this is what the Republican judge said.

“I’ve been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented was as clear as this one is,” U.S. District Judge John Coughenour told a Justice Department attorney. “This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.

It all depends on how SCOTUS chooses to interpret it cos it will definitely get to the supreme court and the republican 5-4 majority there means that it could be interpreted differently than how it has been since it was implemented
Given this court, it's a possibility, but the language is very clear.

I hope it won't backfire on Trump. Some of these declarations were not well thought out. Don't be like someone who said subsidy is gone and here we are today.
Well thought out and Trump? You were around his 1st time right.
He is incompetent and his team is incompetent.
He survives on lies through propaganda and cowardice through bullying people.

I said that this EO will be challenged in courts. It is against the spirit of the constitution of US.
Not just the spirit.
It is in direct opposition to the words of the 14th Amendment.
Clearly an illegal and unconstitutional order.

The Judge was not kind in his ruling.

I see the Supreme Court siding with trump on a certain aspect of this case. He has said he will say in court that you can’t enter a country illegally and then give birth and claim citizenship. Like the lawyers will say, you can’t stand something on nothing. If you are in the country “ illegally “ all your actions while there will be termed as illegal. The conservatives on the Supreme Court will side with him on this.
Shouldn't matter as long as you reside or live in the territory of the US. The wording is clear.
Now I say shouldn't because the Supreme Court has been acting like a Nigerian court for years.

From the original Supreme Court Ruling
“The Amendment, in clear words and in manifest intent, includes the children born, within the territory of the United States, of all other persons, of whatever race or color, domiciled within the United States,” Justice Horace Gray wrote for the majority. “Every citizen or subject of another country, while domiciled here, is within the allegiance and the protection, and consequently subject to the jurisdiction, of the United States.”
AMENDMENT XIV

Section 1.
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. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Trump can still push ahead even if their Supreme Court say otherwise. Last last they go turn am to gidigbo and legal fireworks continue throughout his 4 years.
Which gidigbo and legal works again since the supreme Court has the final say?

When people think about something like this, the first thing that comes to mind are Asians and Latinos.

But people forget about all the recent and not-so-recent eastern European and Italian immigrants. All those hairy fckers are scared, and half of them are judges, AG, DA, governors, and etc. grin I wouldn't be surprised if they put a hit on him.

Except that it has already been decided by SC in 1898 (see below). So there's a precedent, which is what makes it very difficult!

You mean Trump would defy the Supreme Court?

Can you cite a precedent where Trump has ever done such?

By the way, Trump does not confer citizenship on anyone given birth to in the USA neither does he print their birth certificate.

Lawsuits like these also enjoined the DOJ and many other Government Departments and would hold them liable if they defy a valid Court Order.

Even if Trump goes crazy there are many of his party men and women and appointees who hold the Supreme Court and the US Constitution sacred and would abandon him in droves if faced with the option to defy the Supreme Court thereby undermining her legitimacy.

papyjaypaul:
Not exactly. America takes pride in immigration and it's not new to say that when you suceed, they remind the world about the American dream but citizenship by birth tourism is a loophole that people have taken advantage of and it is with dubious intent. Why don't they go to UAE or Netherlands even if these countries give their citizens something? Maybe they should go to Kazakhstan where government gives you money for giving birth but you, they and I know what they are doing. They are taking advantage of the loophole to give their children a chance in life. Do you know that this thing causes problems in some families where some children are born here and others born abroad and sibling rivalry beginshuh
There will always be problems in families, gatherings and association of people. We are social beings and people must quarrel or disagree, how they resolve it is what matters.
Sibling rivalry is often unavoidable in any situation.

However, loopholes like birth tourism that you mentioned can be checked by other means - like being strict with visitors travelling with pregnancy. But once all measures are evaded and the child is birthed in America. That child has every right to be American. The citizen by birth must be given to that child. You can be unhappy with the parents but the child must be recognized as a citizen of America.

United States of America runs a democracy that has been tested over time and is protected with institutions and designed to check and balance situations.

USA president and institutions can't defy the courts, especially the Supreme Court.

There will be severe consequences for such president. It is enough ground for impeachment.

Even if Trump tries it, he will still be messed up because the system will disappoint and checkmate him.

Of course the Democrats will fail. The 14th amendment is NOT for foreigners. It is only for people who have one connection or the other to America.

"I have been on the bench for over four decades," said Judge Coughenour, who was nominated to the bench by President Ronald Reagan in 1981. "I can't remember another case where the case presented is as clear as it is here. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order."

"In your opinion, is this executive order constitutional?" he asked DOJ attorney Brett Shumate.

"Yes, we think it is," Shumate said, drawing the judge's rebuke.

"I have difficulty understanding how a member of the bar can state unequivocally that this is an unconstitutional order. It boggles my mind," Coughenour said. "Where were the lawyers when this decision was being made?"
This exchange summarizes how Trump consistently throws a grenade into the career of Attorneys who work for him, and now the DOJ as well has been dragged into the mud. (Meanwhile, note the response of the DOJ Attorney grin)

You don’t know Trump, that guy don’t give a bleep about rule of law. Institutions can only be powerful if the people intentionally allow it to work.

Just watch how he will do more in democratic acts while in office. This time around he has nothing to lose.

God will spare our lives beyond his tenure.
