General Discussion

There is perhaps no single issue, from the beginning of this administration, on which President Trump has been more wrong than his attempt to narrow birthright citizenship by executive order,” said Steve Vladeck, CNN Supreme Court analyst and professor at Georgetown University Law Center.


“Whether because it violates the relevant statutes; the Fourteenth Amendment itself; or the Supreme Court’s authoritative 1898 interpretation of that constitutional provision, the bottom line is the same,” he added. “And although the Court sided with Trump earlier this summer when he asked it to narrow injunctions against the policy, now that it’s back on the merits, there’s every reason to believe that even this Court will rule against him; the real question is likely to be on which of the multiple possible grounds.”
