In reply to the discussion: 52 seconds - Solicitor Sauer tells Kavanaugh there's no plan to enforce Birthright Citizenship changes [View all]Arazi
(8,708 posts)Traitor issued his EO on birthright citizenship and several circuit courts have issued universal injunctions against it (meaning it cant be enforced anywhere in the US).
DOJ has appealed to SCOTUS to strike down universal injunctions. That this is about birthright citizenship is adjacent to their sneaky ploy.
By most accounts, it sounds like theres 5 votes to end circuit courts ability to issue universal injunctions. Kegger Kav, Thomas, Alito, Roberts and Gorsuch (who in fairness sounded wobbly).
This will mean a circuit courts injunction will only pertain to their district - meaning a patchwork of birthright citizenship will ensue (like the effect Dobbs has had on abortion). Injunctions against Traitors EO will need to move up the court levels one by one (again) and will only reach SCOTUS when theres a discrepancy between circuit courts.
Only then will they have a hearing on birthright citizenship. Its a mess and could take years while we have a patchwork system of citizenship nationwide
