WE WON: Birthright Citizenship Is SAVED
No, Donald Trump — you cannot rewrite the Constitution
Contrarians,
Today, in a major victory, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to restrict birthright citizenship is unconstitutional.
And your support and paid subscriptions made this WIN in court possible!
Norm Eisen argued the case at the Supreme Court alongside the ACLU:
Today’s ruling is more than a legal landmark. It is a human one. For more than a century, birthright citizenship has been a cornerstone of equal citizenship and national belonging in our country. This decision reaffirms that fundamental guarantee — no president has the power to decide who is entitled to the rights our Constitution protects. Americans’ rights cannot simply be erased by the Trump administration’s reckless executive actions.
What is Trump v. Barbara?
Trump v. Barbara challenged Trump’s executive order to strip birthright citizenship from babies born on U.S. soil to parents who are undocumented or present in the country on temporary visas.
The stakes of this case were incredibly high — as Trump tried to strip away a cornerstone of American democracy. If this indisputable legal principle is up for grabs, so is anything in the Constitution and American law.
Lower courts blocked Trump’s executive order repeatedly, and today, SCOTUS agreed. It took your help, Contrarians, to continue pushing back on appeals until the case reached the highest court in the land. Now, we can definitively state that WE WON.
When we fight back, we win
We will not stop our resistance efforts to preserve the fabric and foundation of who we are as a nation, in this case and in hundreds of others that are being litigated every day. Anyone born here belongs here. The Constitution is not something that Trump can simply rip up when it doesn’t suit him, or strike away with his feeble Sharpie.
