Supreme Court Lifts Injunction on Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order; Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes Vows to Keep Fighting

While not ruling on the merits of the Fourteenth Amendment Clause in the United States Constitution granting birthright citizenship to children born in the United States, the Supreme Court gave MAGA run friendly states the ability to take that right away by voiding the Nationwide Injunction issued against an Executive Order nullifying Birthright Citizenship signed by American Duce Wannabe Donald Trump days after it was written.

The Court’s decision is considered a victory for the Hater-in-Chief who, since he first ran for the Presidency, has wanted to eliminate the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which grants automatic citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States.” Legal scholars across the political spectrum have long viewed this clause as a cornerstone of civil rights, and attempts to limit its scope have been met with intense scrutiny and opposition.

Lifting the nationwide injunction that had been in place shortly after Trump signed the executive order on January 20 effectively kicks the can down the legal road that can last one to two years before the High Court hears it again.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes who joined the multistate legal fight challenging the Trump Executive Order against the constitutionality of Birthright Citizenship, issued a strongly worded statement that condemned the Court decision halting the nationwide injunction, writing:

“Today’s decision from the Supreme Court doesn’t negate that President Trump’s birthright citizenship order and his attack on the 14th amendment would cause mass chaos and harm—and our state, and Arizona families, are the ones who would foot the bill. Our fight continues. We welcome the opportunity to keep making our case before the district courts for the relief necessary to protect Arizona and our co-plaintiffs.”

Attorney General Mayes also emphasized that Trump’s order is not only unconstitutional but would also impose serious financial and legal burdens on Arizona:

“We cannot allow the Trump administration’s illegal actions, that would raise costs and undermine basic freedoms, to stand. We remain confident that his blatantly unconstitutional order will be reined in by the courts.”

The Attorney General is right. Mass chaos and harm will result because the conservative members of the Supreme Court, either because of fear of death threats from Trump MAGA black shirts or party over country loyalty, have, like in the Dobb’s decision overturning Roe v Wade, accomplished what the White Nationalist Confederacy in the Civil War could not: form permanent demarcation lines in the nation where red states will become beacons of oppression and agents against civil liberties while blue states will be islands of freedom, inclusivity, and progress.

Is there any doubt that if the issue was taking guns away or saying all cars will be run on electric or solar, the current Supreme Court majority would still be consistent in their views on nationwide injunctions?

If anyone believes that, then those people probably still believe in the tooth fairy or the Brooklyn Bridge is for sale or Liar and Felon in Chief Donald Trump really has a healthcare plan, after ten years, that is better and cheaper than Obamacare.
