The US Supreme Court agreed to hear oral arguments in response to President Trump’s emergency request to stop nationwide injunction against his birthright citizenship executive order.

President Trump asked the Supreme Court to stay the nationwide injunctions issued by the federal judges.
The high court agreed to an expedited schedule and set arguments for May 15.

ABC News reported:

The Supreme Court on Thursday said it would hear expedited oral arguments next month over President Donald Trump’s emergency request to rollback nationwide injunctions against his executive order to end birthright citizenship.

The nation’s highest court set arguments for May 15 at 10 a.m.

The move by the justices sets the stage for a decision by this summer on three separate district court injunctions that had blocked the administration from moving forward with its plan to create a new standard for establishing citizenship to children born on U.S. soil to parents who do not have permanent legal status.

Trump had asked the Supreme Court to allow the administration to, at the very least, begin planning for the change. He also took aim at the universal lower court mandates that he argued exceeded their authority.

Last month President Trump asked the US Supreme Court to intervene in the birthright citizenship fight.

Four federal judges have blocked President Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order.

According to President Trump’s order, the 14th Amendment is being misinterpreted by the left to give citizenship to ‘anchor babies.’

“It is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United States citizenship, to persons: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth,” Trump’s order stated.

Trump’s order argued the 14th Amendment has always excluded babies born to people in the US illegally.

“[The] Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Consistent with this understanding, the Congress has further specified through legislation that “a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is a national and citizen of the United States at birth, 8 U.S.C. 1401, generally mirroring the Fourteenth Amendment’s text,” the order stated.

The Appeals Court last month said it couldn’t end birthright citizenship so President Trump took the fight to the US Supreme Court.

The irrefutable fact is, unwritten federal policy, not statutory law, now considers the offspring of illegal entrant foreign nationals born on American soil as citizens of the United States. And our past election was confirmation American citizens voted for federal policy change with respect to this issue.

Congress has never exercised its exclusive 14th Amendment, Section 5, authority to recognize the offspring of illegal entrant foreign nationals born on American soil as citizens of the United States.

Section 5 of the 14th Amendment declares:


The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.


Keep in mind that in 1924 Congress did exercise its exclusive delegated power when adopting the “Indian Citizenship Act of 1924”, extending citizenship to Indians as outlined in the Act. Since then, I can find no “appropriate legislation” under which Congress has extended citizenship to the offspring of illegal entrant foreign nationals born on American soil.

The Supreme Court would be subjugating the very purpose of our elections _ which are designed to allow for American citizens to vote for change of existing federal public policy by their vote _ if the Supreme Court should halt or meddle with the current Administration carrying out its promise to change federal policy which previously recognized the offspring of illegal entrant foreign nationals born on American soil as citizens of the United States.

See: Trump’s EXECUTIVE ORDER (PROTECTING THE MEANING AND VALUE OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP).

For any member of the Supreme Court to attempt to stop the enforcement of Trump's Executive Order mentioned above, they would be engaging in the very definition of tyranny as described by Madison:

”The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands [our Supreme Court] . . . may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” ___ Madison, Federalist Paper No. 47


Congress, and not our Supreme Court, by the terms of the 14th Amendment, is vested with exclusive power to adopt appropriate legislation enforcing the 14th Amendment, and that includes defining who is subject to our jurisdiction within the meaning of the Amendment.

Until Congress acts otherwise, our President may change existing unwritten public policy to no longer recognize the offspring of illegal entrant foreign nationals born on American soil as citizens of the United States.
