President Trump did not get what he wanted when it comes to birthright citizenship. U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday rejected his day-one executive order that sought to deny citizenship to children born to undocumented or temporary residents. And Paris Kerry Johnson says the court relied on a long-settled understanding of the 14th Amendment.
“"Not a complete surprise given the way the oral argument went in this case, remember”
our Chief Justice John Roberts," actually said to the solicitor General John Sauer, "It may be a different world with respect to people being able to travel to the United States. Way more easily than it made it in the 1890s, but it's the same constitution, the same 14th Amendment." "The court did give Trump something to celebrate that justices allowed states to
ban transgender athletes, from competing in girls and women's sports at publicly funded schools. Transgender advocates are calling that ruling a narrow loss, as MPR Snyder Simmons stuff in reports." Two transgender student athletes, Lindsay Hicocs of Idaho and Becky Pepper Jackson of West Virginia, challenged their state's bands on transgender participation in sports.
The Supreme Court justices rejected their arguments and said that the state's can set the rules around girls' sports to exclude trans students. "This was a loss, but it was a narrow loss."
“Even though the decision was 6-3, Joshua Block of the ACLU told reporters the majority”
opinion was targeted to these cases. "It didn't say that other states couldn't make a different policy choice and allow transgender girls to participate with cisgender girls." Many states do allow trans students to play sports, but the Trump administration has been pressuring states to stop.
