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.

        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

            Let me know when you find a source that says I’m wrong.

            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.

        They literally ruled that speech is more important than torturing children.

        Jackson’s dissent is correct:

        “The Constitution does not pose a barrier to reasonable regulation of harmful medical treatments just because substandard care comes via speech instead of a scalpel,” she wrote.

          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.
