I apologize for being unclear here. The point I was trying to make is that he did not lose his citizenship because the right to birthright citizenship was upheld.

My problem with SCOTUS is that they give us the easy ones to rule on and the freebies, but still they hand over power to a maniacal dictator like he’s god. Trump is only going to get worse.

yes--that's the way to frame it--as a "blow" to Trump. Nothing matters more to the NYT than how it plays for the Orange man. If you were an honest media outlet--you would lead with the fact that 4 Supreme Court judges wanted to take away a constitutional right. Utterly lawless and rogue.

Justice Thomas wrote a 90+ page dissent because apparently this is not clear language: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

How fucking dare you frame it this way. I am sorry to lose my temper here, but following established constitution, BARELY, is not a blow to Trump. Unless you jackasses are finally admitting he is anti-constitution, anti-government, authoritarian.

4 justices don't believe in Birthright Citizenship! This judgment was for an EO, imagine if congresses passing a bill that allows for president to strip citizens of their citizenship. Roberts and ACB won't be so kind, because that was bill would be passed by congress and not an EO.

No it didn't. Trump may have lost, but GOP is just starting on this. Tha fact that this wasn't 9:0, it is already a loss for the constitution. This is now on slow burner, and it will ne the next Roe for GOP.

In a June 30, 2026, ruling, three Supreme Court justices voted against birthright citizenship by dissenting in the case Trump v. Barbara.The Court struck down President Trump's executive order in a 6-3 decision, reaffirming that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to children born in the U.S.

No, Kavanaugh partly concurred and partly dissented. There were four votes in favor of abandoning the Fourteenth Amendment. bsky.app/profile/chri...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds that the Fourteenth Amendment protects birthright citizenship, blocking Donald Trump's executive order to end it. Roberts has the opinion for the court, which is 5-4 on the constitutional question and 6-3 on whether federal law protects birthright citizenship.
