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.
have the courts actually stopped vice president trump yet?
He’s mostly followed rulings so far, so yes
Just straight up false. Who is upvoting this shit?
Lol, Expect for all the ones that he hasn’t.
Are you uninformed? Or intentionally ilinformed?
My point is more so to fight every damn fight
Assuming that it’s all worthless is exactly what Trump wants from everyone
For what it’s worth, there are threats of contempt of court in some of those deliberate misinterpretations or the court
Wake me up when trump faces literally any consequences at all.
You can hold mid to lower level officials in contempt without as much pomp and circumstance as holding the president in contempt. They can be held in civil contempt (can include fines, asset seizures, and or jail time) which is not a criminal charge and thus not pardonable
If everyone below Trump gets the brunt, they’re going to feel obliged to actually follow the courts rather than what Trump says
I don’t know where you’ve been, but it’s entirely the opposite.

… what
Media coverage of any good news is pretty minimal lately, but he has largely (though not entirely with some deleberate misinterpretation of them) been complying with court orders for the moment
Fight every fight with every tool you have
trump has complied with court orders. Really?
Ok doomer
Yes, just gets 10x less coverage than all the horrible things
For instance
The Trump administration restores federal webpages after court order
I’m assuming this will travel to the supreme court
Does it even need to? It’s very clear wording. There is literally no argument you could make that can misinterpret the language. It’s like the singular thing in the constitution that is extremely clear language.
We’ll see, I guess. They may just as well not take it up and say that the lower courts have it right. They’re kind of unpredictable like that.
You seem to think they give a shit what the constitution says in the face of all the evidence to the contrary.
The problem is, if he can somehow get rid of birthright citizenship, then no one is an American.
It doesn’t just affect potential immigrants, it’s affects every human born in the US, past and present.
Anyone they want to be American will be American. The rules have been abandoned and you cannot just hope they’ll obey them.
You forget, this would be another opportunity for the judicial branch to bypass Congress and “write” law, and they love that power.
Yes, I know the rules too. No, they consider themselves above the law.
Congress has too many cooks to change the Constitution properly, and likely wouldn’t pass. An executive order and crooked judgement may be testing the waters to for future dictatorship.
has that stopped him?
Well, it hasn’t happened yet.
