Chapter 1: What is the Supreme Court hearing about birthright citizenship?
We have a major oral argument coming up this week before the United States Supreme Court on Donald Trump's executive order trying to eliminate the constitutional right of birthright citizenship. You see right here from April 17, 2025, when the Supreme Court announced that it would be holding oral argument on May 15th, and sure enough, May 15th is here this week. Just take a look at this order.
Consideration of the application for partial stay presented to the chief justice and by him referred to the court is deferred pending oral argument. Consideration of the application for partial stay presented to Justice Kagan and by her referred to the court is deferred pending oral argument.
Consideration of the other application for partial stay presented to Justice Jackson and by her referred to the court is deferred pending oral argument. The applications are consolidated and a total of one hour is allotted for oral argument. The applications are set for oral argument at 10 a.m. on Thursday, May 15, 2025.
You look at the three consolidated cases right there, and one of those cases involves the state of New Jersey in their lawsuit defending the constitutional right of birthright citizenship. Something that we should know about this case, though, is
for what's happening before the supreme court at this stage the justice department from the trump regime is not asking the court to weigh in on the legality of ending birthright citizenship just yet instead the government wants the court to put an end once and for all to nationwide injunctions by district courts that have the effect of blocking
presidential policies everywhere in the country is what the Trump regime is saying after they would just go to the Northern District of Texas when former President Biden was in office and get injunction after injunction to block things like student loan debt forgiveness and expansions of rights and freedoms that Biden was trying to do.
Just take a look right here at what Donald Trump just recently said about birthright citizenship.
in the united states constitution and his belief by executive order he can just eliminate it which he can't he has no clue what birthright citizenship is where it's found in the constitution but watch him just run his mouth for a little bit and then i want to bring in the attorney general from the state of new jersey who is going to be leading the oral argument the solicitor general from his office is going to be the person making the oral argument let's take a look at what trump wrote in his mouth here quickly
A short time ago, the Supreme Court agreed to hear oral arguments in the case about ending birthright citizenship. How confident are you that the court will rule in your favor and allow that order to end birthright citizenship to go forth?
