A Federal Judge blocked the enforcement Trump’s executive order aimed at restricting birthright citizenship in the US

A Federal Judge on Wednesday, Feb. 5, blocked the enforcement of President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at restricting birthright citizenship in the United States.

The ruling indefinitely halts Trump’s executive order, which was set to take effect nationwide on February 19.

In her decision, District Judge Deborah Boardman stated that denying birthright citizenship would cause irreparable harm and emphasized that Supreme Court precedent upholds the right of citizenship for those born on US soil.

She noted that Trump’s order conflicts with the plain language of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the country.

Would the appropriate institutions be strong enough to implement this judgement against the president? That has to be seen.

 

[Webster]

This is headed to SCOTUS; why?
Principally to settle once and for all what exactly the 14th Amendment refers to by "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof...."

(The specific question is over the part in bold italics.)

Yeah I think this decision is for the good of everyone. This order needs to remain permanently blocked

I know that President Trump would somehow find a way to bypass this and pursue his own agenda knowing the kind of person that he is.
