A federal judge in New Hampshire has accepted all children covered by Donald Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship as a class and issued an injunction.
It should be noted that the Supreme Court ruling striking down earlier injunctions was not on the constitutional merits of the EO, and they said that such an injunction could only apply to litigants or members of a class action lawsuit.
Given the corrupt and partisan nature of the Supreme Court, I expect that this injunction will be shut down, and that SCOTUS will eventually invalidate the 14th amendment because 6 of the 9 members are political hacks.
A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from enforcing a contentious executive order ending birthright citizenship after certifying a lawsuit as a class action, effectively the only way he could impose such a far-reaching limit after a Supreme Court ruling last month.
Ruling from the bench, Judge Joseph N. Laplante of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire said his decision applied nationwide to babies who would have been subject to the executive order, which included the children of undocumented parents and those born to academics in the United States on student visas, on or after Feb. 20.
The Trump administration has fought to challenge the longstanding law, laid out in the Constitution, that people born in the United States are automatically citizens, regardless of their parents’ immigration status. Judge Laplante’s order reignites a legal standoff that has been underway since the beginning of President Trump’s second term.
"Reignites a legal standoff?" Seriously, the New York Times is calling this a, "Legal standoff?"
Trump's order is clearly corrupt and unconstitutional.
Seriously, the Times is broken beyond repair.
