4. 24 Democratic states and cities sue over Trump's bid to end birthright citizenship

Two dozen Democratic-led states and cities are challenging President Donald Trump’s bid to end birthright citizenship in court, a major constitutional challenge to one of the White House’s signature policies.

The lawsuits allege that a Trump executive order signed Monday violates the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which gives a constitutional right of citizenship to all children born in the United States.

“Despite a President’s broad powers to set immigration policy, however, the Citizenship Stripping Order falls far outside the legal bounds of the President’s authority,” states a lawsuit from 18 states, Washington, DC, and San Francisco......

Also Tuesday, the attorneys general of Washington, Arizona, Oregon and Illinois brought their own lawsuit on the west coast. It was filed at a federal court in Seattle that is within the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, a traditionally left-leaning court that has become less liberal in recent years.

Both suits are also seeking a preliminary order blocking the policy before the Trump administration can take steps to implement it.

Similar lawsuits targeting Trump’s order were brought by the American Civil Liberties Union and immigration rights groups on Monday.

6. He's going to continue to force lawsuits that erode blue states' budgets. This is BS that's costly.

I hope we have legal orgs or PACs to help pay for the uphill legal battles.


There should be some metrics by which we define and add up the "loss, harm, or damage" to the states and people of the U.S. over his BS.

7. DJT is a pig ignorant sociopath who never learned basic American history. He is also so far off his rocker that

he believes anything he says to be true. He is a psychopathic liar whose sense of "real" resides in his completely delusional world view.

I understand individual people being gulled by him. I do not understand how the press at large or serious GOP pols accepted his remarks (except in the context of his personal influence on the party) as meaningful.

He's not just mean, or vain, or paranoid, or racist. He's literally not on this planet. It is worse than useless to discuss him as anything else.

9. This post is incorrect, per its own source

The list of countries above is the list of countries covered in the report, not a list of the countries that have birthright citizenship. If you go to the website, and click the link to download the .PDF, you will find the following map (only the pink countries have unconditional birthright citizenship):



Following the map, there is a table that lists which countries do and do not have unconditional birthright citizenship at birth. Here's the list above, with the countries that have unconditional birthright citizenship:
