Is This Supreme Court Case About Birthright Citizenship? Yes and No.
A case focused on birthright citizenship could come later, but the bulk of the argument is expected to concern whether a single judge can freeze a policy nationwide.
When the justices hear oral arguments on Thursday in a challenge related to President Trump’s ban on birthright citizenship, they will face an issue that sounds like a blockbuster: Can the president upend birthright citizenship, long held up as a bedrock of the United States?
But the legal question before the justices is actually much narrower.
For now, the justices have been asked to look only at the legality of the nationwide pauses, which are called national injunctions, that are blocking President Trump’s executive order that would end birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants and some temporary foreign residents.>>>
