#Trump asked #SCOTUS to okay plan to end #BirthrightCitizenship

Trump asked the #SupremeCourt on Thurs to allow US ofcls to begin implementing a limited plan to end birthright #citizenship for #children born in the #UnitedStates to undocumented immigrants & visitors.

Judges in 3 states have issued nationwide orders blocking Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder, which #CivilRights groups & Democratic-led states say is clearly at odds w/the nation’s history & the #Constitution.

BREAKING: Trump dealt CONSEQUENTIAL COURT LOSS
Brian Tyler Cohen

The Brian Tyler Cohen headline is correct. This court decision is really consequential. Trump's dumb and ignorant executive order is being found to be blatantly unconstitutional. Even the greatest simpleton ought to be able to see it but we're just not sure about Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. Time will tell. It is going well so far.

Today, for Black History Month, we remember Hiram Rhodes Revels who, on this date, February 25, 1870, was sworn into the U.S. Senate, becoming the first African American ever to sit in Congress. He was a Republican from Mississippi. His cousins were killed participating in John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry. During the Civil War, he helped recruit and organize two black Union regiments. When he first arrived at the Senate, southern Democrats refused to let him sit, arguing that the Dred Scott decision, in 1857, ruled that he wasn’t a citizen and had no right to serve, despite the 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, which gave him birthright citizenship

#trump does not care about what courts say.
He rules by the #fuhrerprinzip .
And if there are enough people who do what Trump says (his #SS and #SA ) then #birthrightcitizenship and #democracy WILL end.
Time of protest is over, you literally have to FIGHT for your survival and take Trump, Musk and ALL their minions down.
Remember they are NOT the majority. They are with few, very few and we, the people, are with MANY !!! We are NOT helpless !!!

Hey, at least this is good news:

~ US appeals court rejects Trump's emergency bid to curtail birthright citizenship ~

‘The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the #Trump administration's request for an emergency order putting on hold a nationwide injunction issued by a federal judge in Seattle blocking the president's executive order.’

Continued thread

The 3-judge appeals panel wrote in its ruling that the admin had “not made a ‘strong showing that [they are] likely to succeed on the merits’ of this appeal.”

#Trump’s order would restrict #BirthrightCitizenship from being extended to children born on US soil to parents without permanent legal status…. Multiple judges have found the order is inconsistent w/ #SCOTUS’ longstanding interpretation of the #14thAmendment.

A federal appeals court Wednesday evening declined the #Trump admin’s request to partially revive the president’s #ExecutiveOrder restricting #BirthrightCitizenship.

The #DOJ asked the #9thCircuit Court of Appeals to immediately limit a district judge’s ruling, one of multiple indefinitely blocking Trump’s order nationwide, to only the individual plaintiffs who sued in an underlying case.

Continued thread

[So #StephenMiller basically just described #ElonMusk & #DOGE to a tee but projected it onto the #judiciary]

The pushback comes as #Trump tries to dismantle govt agencies & eliminate large swaths of the federal workforce are being held up by the courts. Judges have also blocked Trump… from moving forward w/mass federal #buyouts, from placing thousands of #USAID workers on leave & from implementing an #ExecutiveOrder that seeks to end #BirthrightCitizenship for anyone born in the #US.
