Summary
A U.S. appeals court has blocked Donald Trump’s executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship for children of non-citizen parents.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Trump administration’s emergency stay request, upholding a lower court’s nationwide injunction.
The ruling, made by a three-judge panel, argued that citizenship rights under the 14th Amendment are beyond presidential authority to alter.
The Justice Department is appealing similar rulings in other states, and the case may ultimately reach the Supreme Court. Arguments in the 9th Circuit case are set for June.
OK, here we go, round one @ the Supreme Court re: rule by edict.
This is the real canary to see if we still have a country
facts.
sadly though, even if they stop one thing, they will not stop em all. he’s setting a precedent every future
Presidentking of America will use to further the agenda of the ruling class (unless an FDR figure emerges to redirect that power at wealth redistribution).the president may in fact now be a king and both parties (one party really - the ultra rich) has either actively enabled or done almost nothing to dismantle executive authority since at least Reagan.
the monarchists won control of the country, backed by corporatist billionaires. time will tell if it’s reversible or even salvageable. might be wise to begin building the figurative life rafts.
Yeah, but this one is an intentional huge over-reach. So when other, less outright violations of the Constition come up, they’ll seem like no big deal by comparison.
