The US president issued an executive order in 2025 that seeks to undo constitutional right to birthright citizenship
The US supreme court on Wednesday appeared poised to protect birthright citizenship, the longstanding policy that babies born in the US are American citizens, in what would be a blow to a key immigration policy for Donald Trump.
The court heard oral arguments with Trump himself in attendance inside the courtroom’s public gallery. A majority of justices asked questions indicating skepticism about the government’s attempt to overturn birthright citizenship. But while some expected the case to be a clearcut win for those challengingthe government, it is unclear how many justices might side with Trump. A decision is expected this summer.
If birthright citizenship is overturned, hundreds of thousands of children born annually would be blocked from US citizenship.
Will all the people who said this court is fully corrupted and will side with Trump on being a full on fascist eat their hats when they overturn this joke of an EO?
No because they’ve done it plenty of times. Like the time they said Trump can’t be prosecuted for his crimes. After that everything else is kind of small potatoes. That’s the appropriate level of cynicism. And while I will be pleasantly surprised if they can keep from falling all over themselves to find a way to pass this for him. I certainly wouldn’t expect it.
One correct ruling doesn’t undo a dozen bad ones. Check their record. This SCOTUS sucks.
They just ruled 8-1 in favor of torturing children yesterday, what kind of point do you think you’re making?

Or, you know, you could just explain why you think they’re wrong instead of telling them “You’re wrong! Do your own research!” like a MAGA

Says you’re wrong about what? My whole point is that you’re not even offering a rebuttal. Your argument doesn’t even reach the level of “I’m rubber and you’re glue,” it’s just “nuh uh!” while expecting Google to do the heavy lifting for you.

To set the record straight, are you yet again asking other people to do the work in making an argument for you?
For someone with such strong opinions, you sure don’t have much to say.

They literally ruled that speech is more important than torturing children.
Jackson’s dissent is correct:
They ruled that the lower court had to apply strict scrutiny to the case and tossed the case back down, so the case hasn’t been decided yet. Still bullshit, since we’re talking about medical treatments by licensed professionals and not the rights of ordinary citizens, but as far as I can tell they didn’t offer an opinion as to whether Chiles’ practice is lawful or unlawful.
Yes, they tossed it back down because the state wasn’t focused enough on freeze peach over child torture when they regulated medical care.
I did read it. You sound like a fucking idiot.
Even if they decide not to support fascism in this one specific case, they have deliberately, intentionally and repeatedly encouraged the development of facism in multiple other cases.
They are only as complicit in a new reign of fascism as much as current house and senate Democrats are who have had multiple chances to pull it in but chose not to. Keep in mind we voted those people in.
