The Supreme Court has agreed to examine the Trump administration’s challenge to judges issuing nationwide injunctions, setting a date for a case that could have a major impact on the president’s ability to carry out his agenda as well as on the entire country.
This comes after three federal judges issued separate nationwide injunctions blocking an executive order by President Donald Trump ending birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants.
On Thursday, the court consolidated the three cases into one and set oral arguments to examine

I have a friend who was born in England while his dad worked for a big corporation. Legally there, of course, but he wasn't granted UK citizenship nor should he have. Trump is trying to end birthright citizenship for children born to ILLEGALS in spite of the media screaming and trying to gaslight the public about it.

There are only two countries that allow for birth citizenship, the US and Canada.

The courts would normally ignore reigning in the Inferior Court Black Robed Activist except a bill has passed in the House jerking the authority of the Supreme Joke to handle this. Roberts has dared the Legislative and Executive branch since he was appointed to the Supreme Joke. And now he may not be able to control the consequences of empowering Inferior Court Black Robed Activist to assume the legislative and executive branches powers. One wonders if he and 4 other Supreme Joke Jesters will back down. I doubt it.

If the Supremes rule that a district judge can make national policy, the Executive and Judicial branches will be in a never ending war.

This could end up being another Roberts Frankenstein monster.
Part 1: It is insane to let someone illegally enter the country, have a kid, anoint the kid a citizen, and then use the kid's citizenship to anchor the parents in the country. The whole process is the fruit of an illegal action which is then conveniently overlooked and unpunished. Further, you then have the parents in a legal gray area, in the Country as not citizens or legal immigrants. There is no current legal definition of a person in the country under these circumstances.
It's like someone killing someone and stealing their car and then claiming "possession is 9/10 of the law", then the court letting them keep the car and forgetting about the murder and theft. Such interpretations of the Constitution invite chaos, which is what we are seeing and if sanctioned by the SCOTUS, would get even worse.
Part 2: The act of allowing district judges to act upon the whole country is crazy. It places them at equal status as the SCOTUS and invites chaos, which is what we are seeing.
The Monster of Compromise: Roberts is drawn to compromise like a fly to excrement. The result is something like his BOCare mess, which still survives when it should have been given the coup de grâce when it was first heard.
To clean up the current mess, clear and strong language, i.e. rational Leadership, is needed. The outcome of that will, of course, be angry reaction from the Left. The Left, having lost in court would then take their fight to the streets, as they are wont to do. Roberts THINKS it is HIS job to prevent all that by crafting something that no one is happy with but might not evoke a strong response. The Conservatives on the SCOTUS CORRECTLY know it is their job to set clear interpretations of the law, NOT to make mud. It is the responsibility of the Executive branch to handle the consequences.
To accomplish clarity, both parts of this case need to be addressed well. Roberts will try to take spare pieces of legal logic, that don't really fit together, to make his monster. Maybe he minimizes the district judge issue or ignores it because it has broad reaching effects (as it does and therefore makes it urgent to be addressed). Or he decides that "born here" means exactly that but ignores the initial illegal source of the problem and the mess he would create around the status of the parents.
Good law is crafted to minimize confusion. The SPECIFIC job of the courts is to eliminate confusion about issues brought before it. If laws were perfectly crafted, there would be little work for the judiciary except to sit in judgement of the guilty. Roberts laws take unclear situations and make them worse.
