Last Rights

SCOTUS issues its last rulings of the session Supreme Court rulings have been such a mixed bag lately that I’m apprehensive about the ruling due this morning in the birthright citizenship case. Even if the April Fool’s Day oral arguments did not go well for Trump’s Solicitor General. It’s a fair bet that Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas will sign on to Donald Trump’s claim that the plain language of the 14th Amendment doesn’t mean what it says. What matters is whether the other conservative justices will manage to twist constitutional loopholes into “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Rights being subject to Trump’s discretion these days. ABC News anticipates the ruling this morning: The ruling, one of the most highly anticipated of the year, is a major test of Trump’s unprecedented assertion of presidential power in his second term with major stakes for millions of children and their families. Birthright citizenship is the idea that a child automatically becomes a citizen of the country in which they are born, regardless of the immigration status of their parents. Unless you’re Black, brown, or poor, as Trump sees it. “A lower court blocked Trump’s executive order directing U.S. agencies not to recognize the citizenship of children ​born in the United States if neither parent is an American citizen or legal permanent resident, also called a ‘green card’ holder,” Reuters reminds readers: The administration has asserted that the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” means that being born in the United States is not enough for citizenship, and excludes

Trump dealt major blow as birthright citizenship challenge fails

‘The Megyn Kelly Show’ host Megyn Kelly says the Supreme Court's decision to uphold birthright citizenship is disappointing, arguing the issue has become driven by politics rather than law. “It’s disappointing; I mean, there's just no way to get around it. It’s a terribly disappointing decision; it’s not a surprise,” Ms Kelly told Sky News host Paul Murray. “It’s sort of morphed into a situation where we’ve accepted, okay, that we were going to treat this as no matter where you’re from, no matter whether you’re here illegally or not, if you have a kid here, your kid can be legal."

"Rule of Law vs. Rule of Billionaires": Supreme Court Says Trump Can Fire Regulators, Except at Fed

In a 6-3 ruling this week that overturned nine decades of precedent, the Supreme Court granted President Donald Trump the power to fire and replace officials at independent government agencies like the Federal Trade Commission. But in a separate 5-4 decision, the justices ruled that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook can stay in her job as she challenges Trump’s efforts to fire her. The seemingly contradictory rulings suggest a two-tier system of regulation, says Alvaro Bedoya, a former FTC commissioner who was fired by Trump last year. The independence and stability of the Federal Reserve is important to “billionaire Wall Street Bankers,” and therefore remains protected, says Bedoya. “But then you have this whole series of other agencies that keep your toys safe, that keep health insurers from robbing people blind, that keep supermarkets from merging to make milk, eggs and beef even more expensive. The court said that all those regulators can report directly to the president and be entirely beholden to his whims.”

'Catastrophic' ruling shows Supreme Court aims to consolidate more power for Trump: expert

Appearing on MS NOW just as the Supreme Court handed down a ruling that allows Donald Trump to immediately deport immigrants from Haiti and Syria who have been granted temporary protected status (TPS), ex-U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance was appalled.Writing for the 6-3 majority, conservative Justice Samuel Alito asserted that lower courts cannot stop the federal government's determination about TPS status, opening the door for a mass purge of immigrants desired by the president and White House adviser Stephen Miller.According to the New York Times, the ruling impacts as many as 350,000 Haitians and 6,100 Syrians, and ...it is likely to have implications for TPS holders from about a dozen other countries.”Speaking with host Stephanie Ruhle, Vance was blunt and to the point.“I mean, I have not read the opinion. I have have made it through the holding,” she admitted before lamenting, “This is the catastrophic outcome that we feared.”“The Court has held that the administration's decision to end temporary protected status cannot be reviewed,” she explained. “Look, this will be a very controversial ruling. This is a further indication that the Supreme Court is intent on consolidating power in the hands of the President; part of this larger unitary executive theory that this White House has pushed.” - YouTube youtu.be
