Summary

Donald Trump signed an executive order to challenge birthright citizenship, targeting children of undocumented immigrants born in the U.S.

The order argues against the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship for those born on U.S. soil.

It bars federal agencies from recognizing birthright citizenship and imposes a 30-day waiting period for enforcement.

The order is expected to face significant legal challenges, with critics calling it unconstitutional.

    If Trump actually controlled the Supreme Court, we never would have had a president Biden. The Supreme Court mainly cares about increasing their own power. They’d never allow the office of the president to have the power to overturn the constitution by fiat.

      trump has a ruling from the supreme court that he can’t be punished for anything that he considers an “official act”. And the entire point of “stop the steal” and “stall for time” was to get the 2020 election up in front of the supreme court. Instead, pence showed a backbone for the only time in his life and it became a violent insurrection attempt instead.

          Justice Doe, do you believe that what president trump did on February 30th was an official act? No? <BANG>. While we are working through appointing a new justice, do any other justices not believe that his actions on February 30th was not an official act? Also his actions today. And possibly tomorrow if you don’t behave yourself.

          Stop pretending that the world is a nickelodean sitcom and the villain is going to be caught up by Da Rules. We’ve been over this.

      They literally ruled that anything Trump does is an official act, and he cannot be charged for it. And, he already has self-pardon, so any “loophole” the SCOTUS comes up with, he just pardons himself.

      And, he sends men with guns, under an official act, to get rid of the SCOTUS justices that disagreed with him… And he will select new ones.

            He can barely maintain coherent thought past two sentences. He doesn’t have the capacity to remove anyone, let alone the means.
