YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Supreme Court will hear challenges to Trump's birthright citizenship orders this week.
To date, every court to have considered Trump's executive order banning birth right citizenship, issued on day one of his administration, has blocked it. But he has doggedly persisted in his contention that birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, an idea widely considered a fringe view because the Supreme Court ruled to the contrary 127 years ago, and that decision has never been disturbed.
Even the Trump administration's lawyers seemed to acknowledge the shaky ground they were standing on. Rather than ask the justices to outright reverse the lower courts, they instead asked the justices to narrow the lower court orders so that the administration could at least begin planning to put into effect its new policy against birthright citizenship.
