I feel like the idea that federal judges can't tell the federal government to wait while the courts finished is kind of ridiculous.

@P4rz1va1

"You don't have the authority to say block an unconstitutional order" is a ridiculous gripe to have.

@OfficialTheWar

According to Section 1 of the 14th Amendment,
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

@ShatoraDragondore

So The whole thing about us having three branches that check and balance each other, to prevent a dictator from happening, just isn't a thing anymore huh?

@SilleIN

If the constitution doesn’t give you birthright citizenship, then it never did and would effectively mean that only nationalised citizens and descendants of naturalised citizens are in fact US citizens. 

The naturalisation process came into life in 1790, meaning any person who was born prior to that date was definitely not a US citizen- and in extension their descendants. 

And even after 1790 most arrived did not seek naturalisation, but were merely content their children were citizens. 

That would leave most US people without citizenship. 

It should probably be noted that without birthright citizenship, at least 4 of Trumps 5 children would not be citizens as their mothers were not citizens at their time of birth.

@akend4426

How is this even a discussion? It’s perfectly outlined in section 1 of the 14th Amendment!

@ADiraryforDelilah

Ok so he shouldn't have birthright citizenship as his parents were immigrants 😂😂

@tylermarceline2607

The entire point of an injunction is to prevent irreparable harm from taking place why wouldnt judges be able to do this? Especially in situations where people are going to be forced from the country or arrested while the litigation moves.

@Valyssi

I'm less concerned with whether federal judges should have the power to uphold the law, than whether the president should be able to ignore the law entirely without consequence

@reaper4life66

So my understanding is that their trying to pass an UNCONSTITUTIONAL bill BEFORE they get to argue whether or not it's UNCONSTITUTIONAL to begin with.

@gibsenglender1727

The leaders of the judicial branch voting to decide if the judicial branch should be allowed to do it's job is crazy

@diRtyMuddman

If this passes then we all have to be deported. 😂😂😂😂

@Project-X-COSTA

If they are granted, next he's coming for your 2nd Amendment. We warned you.

@xavagriffith438

I feel that removing birthright citizenship is stupid and dumb, not only cause it was built into our constitutional rights but also it can lead to them leaning the term of what a "citizen" is

@azazelviper155

Trumps parents aren't even from the US

@mustangnawt1

If they all continue to break every single law, why would court ever be the answer?

@kevinjacob7858

The judicial branch is doing its job! Judge rules this isn’t legal, so it’s stopped until it gets appealed. It gets appealed all the way up to the Supreme Court, who is the final say on whether or not it’s legal.

@dangerfindertreasureseeker8905

This so stupid unless you are a native Indian decedent there is a very good chance you are an immigrant. I know my Great Great Grandparents were born here and that was late 1890s . Don’t know before that.

@SerenaCentauri

Basically, what this means is if the court sides with führer trump, then if the executive violates your constitutional rights, the checks and balances don't exist to stop it. Each induvidual person whose rights were violated would have to sue the government individually. Which costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and takes a long time, and then, that ruling wouldnt apply to the exact same case for the next person.

If the court side with the führer here then the law no longer matters. The people have no real protection from abuses of power and the legal apparatus of the country ceases to funtion. And the fact that supreme court justices are even considering any aspect of this case futher than, "the constitution is a valid document, courts serve as a check and balance on fhe executive power" is insane. The fact that any of them are even considering middle ground between "the legal system of this country is a thing that exists" and "führer trump has supreme power to violate the rights of everyone everywhere" proves that this country is broken and nigh on impossible to ever repair. There must be massive reconstruction. This vile conservative movement must be diminished through real social programs that help everyone. So that the idea of removing them is faces with such outrage that conservativism cannot exist.

@acompassrose1366

If they get rid of birthright citizenship, you could argue that anyone not Indigenous is no longer a citizen as not all previous relatives were born in the US. That would include Trump himself
