Democratic states sue Trump over effort to end birthright citizenship
That was fast. 18 attorneys general from a slew of states and Washington, DC, have sued the Trump administration for its wildly unconstitutional attempt to repeal birthright citizenship — ya know, the thing enshrined in Amendment #14 of the US Constitution. “The president’s executive order attempting to rescind birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional and quite frankly, un-American. The President has overstepped his authority by a mile with this order, and we will hold him accountable,” said California’s Attorney General Rob Bronta. Now it’s time to see if the Supreme Court will be willing to defend the Constitution or will simply act as a rubber stamp for the MAGA cult leader and his openly fascistic agenda.
