Judge declines to block Trump's new birthright citizenship order

The first order died at the Court. The revised one walked out of a Biden judge's courtroom on Friday.

Summary

  • Just the News reports U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman on Friday declined to block President Trump's revised birthright-citizenship order after the Supreme Court struck down the first version.
  • The original directive told agencies the 14th Amendment does not grant citizenship to children of illegal aliens. The Court shut that plan down. Trump signed a revised order earlier this month expanding the list of children who would not qualify.
  • Boardman, a Biden appointee, had stayed the first order. She did not stay the rewrite, Reuters reported, while remaining skeptical of its constitutionality.
  • Trump called the Supreme Court result unfortunate and close and said the adjustments were required because the status quo is unfair.

Commentary

A delivery driver still sits in a vinyl clinic chair with a copay and a birth form that already assumed the answer. He did not cross a desert. He paid the tax that funds the ward.

That is the gap. A first order dead. A rewrite alive on Friday. A skeptical judge who still let it run. The honest dad already knew a citizenship stamp is not a participation trophy.

Ask every working father who still believes the 14th Amendment had a country attached: if a Biden judge would not freeze the rewrite, who still gets to call the first loss the last word?

Comments

If a Biden judge would not freeze the rewrite, who still owns the 14th?

A rewrite that survives Friday is a live order. Implement it before the next TRO shop opens.

I swore an oath that named a country. A stamp for a crossing is not that oath.

u/rule_first · 4h

The Court killed version one. Version two is now the operative text. Defend it on the merits.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Allied jus sanguinis systems already do this without a seminar. Copy the clarity.

u/docket_rat · 3h

Skeptical and still no stay. That sentence is the whole standing lesson from this week.

u/night_shift · 2h

My kid's certificate cost a Saturday. It should not be a magnet for a second crossing.

u/texas_mom · 90m

A ward is not a citizenship kiosk. Keep the rewrite on the books.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

Citizenship is a border with a stamp. Leave it loose and every other fence is decoration.

u/press_clip · 30m

Just the News printed Boardman, Friday, no stay, and the revised order. Argue those nouns.

u/soc_lead · 15m

Keep the order live. Brief the next circuit. A stamp is not a souvenir.
