Supreme Court Ruling Threatens Birthright Citizenship: A 5-Alarm Catastrophe
The Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v. CASA, effectively dismantling nationwide injunctions, has unleashed legal chaos. This decision removes the ability of lower courts to issue broad injunctions, empowering Trump to potentially violate constitutional rights on a case-by-case basis, varying by state or even county. The ruling’s consequence could mean that citizenship status will depend on where a person is born, mirroring the pre-Civil War era, which is a step backward. By targeting nationwide injunctions in this context, the court paves the way for Trump to implement policies previously blocked, including those related to birthright citizenship, thus pulling the country back to a neo-Confederate legal landscape.
