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.

    Edit: By downvoting me you are advocating for violence.

    I think it’s too soon to say we’re on the fourth box already. Let’s wait until SCOTUS and the impeachment in Congress fail.

        You first, friend. Lock and load, am I right?

        Or… we could actually exhaust legal avenues before we start shooting.

          For the record, I wasn’t advocating a civil war. I was predicting one.

          Give me a reason to think this will end any other way.

      The SCOTUS that ruled that this sitting president cannot be criminally charged for anything he does while in office, as long as it’s an “official act”? This president who recently echoed Napoleon and Nixon with “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law”? Who sits in the White House that repeated his “LONG LIVE THE KING” statement with a picture of him as a king?

      Or did I miss a /s on your comment?

        You’re literally advocating for a civil war, and used the “four boxes” analogy. We haven’t finished with the first three boxes yet.
