****BREAKING NEWS**** Judge Blocks Birthright Citizenship Executive Order Nationwide

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Birthright citizenship: A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from enforcing a contentious executive order ending birthright citizenship after certifying a challenge by the A.C.L.U. as a class action, effectively the only way he could impose such a far-reaching limit after a Supreme Court ruling last month. The Trump administration has fought to end the longstanding guarantee that virtually everyone born in the United States is a citizen, regardless of their parents’ legal status.

I was listening to George Conway the other day. He said the SCOTUS ruling on nationwide injunctions wouldn't be the last word.

1. Maddow Blog-Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship blocked by federal judge

The Supreme Court left open a door to challenging the executive order restricting birthright citizenship. The ACLU walked right through.

Trump’s order, however, continues to fare poorly in the courts. NBC News reported:

A federal judge in New Hampshire granted class-action status to a lawsuit seeking to protect babies who would be denied birthright citizenship by the Trump administration and granted a temporary block of the order restricting birthright citizenship from going into effect throughout the country. The suit was brought on behalf of a pregnant immigrant, immigrant parents and their infants and had sought class action status for all babies around the country who would be affected by Trump’s executive order and their parents.

NBC News’ report added that the judge in the case “ordered a preliminary injunction temporarily blocking Trump’s order from going into effect, but stayed his order for seven days, allowing the government time to appeal” — which it almost certainly will.

The ruling in the case was issued by U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Laplante, who was appointed to the federal bench by George W. Bush.

While readers might’ve seen headlines about a related Supreme Court ruling last month, as my MSNBC colleague Jordan Rubin explained, the justices’ highly controversial opinion focused largely on the judiciary’s authority, not on the underlying constitutional issue and the legality of Trump’s order itself.

Within hours of the Supreme Court’s ruling, which left open the possibility of using class action lawsuits to challenge the White House’s policy, the ACLU filed just such a case. On Thursday morning, it scored a key victory. Watch this space.

2. It seems the Supremes have forfeited their authority.

No? At least this Judge is siding with Justice over Trump.

3. The SCOTUS ruling specifically left a loophole for class actions

So this wasn’t that surprising- glad it didn’t take too long to put in place.
