The Trump administration wants to end automatic birthright citizenship as enshrined in the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

The Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Trump administration to take steps to implement its proposal to end automatic birthright citizenship, handing a major win to the government.

The court granted a request by the Trump administration to narrow the scope of nationwide injunctions imposed by judges so that they apply only to states, groups and individuals that sued. That means the birthright citizenship proposal can likely move forward at least in part in the states that challenged it as well as those that did not.

The court was divided on ideological lines, with conservatives in the majority and liberals in dissent.

    Well, at least “Genocide Joe” or “Kamala the Cop” won’t be killing Gazans.

    …oh wait.

    Anyway, I have yet to see some of the more strident both-sidering “leftists” apologize for anything they’ve said or done in the run-up to last fall’s election. I’m sure their sense of smug self-satisfaction will be a huge comfort to them as they are being shoved onto trains, er planes, destined to shithole countries that have signed up to outsource the gulags…because, well, “both sides” and “argle bargle something something the status quo”.
