Birthright Citizenship Appeal
Trump plans to ask the Supreme Court to reconsider the birthright citizenship ruling.
Summary
President Donald Trump said July 8 he will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to rehear the birthright citizenship case after it rejected his executive order seeking to limit citizenship for some people born in the United States. The Court ruled June 30 that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause grants automatic citizenship to babies born on U.S. soil. Trump cited signs and billboards near the southern border and in Mexico advertising “BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP” and “Deliveries starting at $4000” as grounds for immediate reconsideration.

Mostly LeftTrump is melting down after a Supreme Court defeat and demanding a do-over he is unlikely to get. The rehearing request is less a serious legal path than a public display of rage over humiliation.
