Yesterday it was announced that the Supreme Court would be hearing oral arguments on President Trump’s executive order to stop birthright citizenship:
ROLL CALL – The Supreme Court will decide the future of President Donald Trump’s effort to overturn birthright citizenship, agreeing Thursday to hear oral arguments next month.
Rather than rule on the Trump administration’s requests to pause rulings from lower courts in Washington, New Jersey and Maryland that kept the policy unchanged, the justices set oral arguments for May 15 on the issue. The Trump administration asked the justices to intervene last month after several lower courts ruled that his policy likely violated the Constitution.
The justices would likely rule in the case before the end of the court’s term in June.
But Mark Levin is not optimistic about this, warning a few minutes ago that Supreme Court may do more damage to the Constitution with their upcoming ruling on birthright citizenship, given that two of the conservative justices are not constitutionalists.
Levin explained that the framers of the Constitution never considered birthright citizenship as part of the 14th amendment and, indeed, the Supreme Court has never ruled on it either.
But he worries that both Roberts and Barrett could side with the liberal activists on the court and issue a ruling that isn’t supported by the Constitution.
Here’s what he says:
BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP
NO, media, the 14th amendment does NOT provide for birth right citizenship, and I am sick and tired of the propaganda and/or ignorance pushed into the public prior to the Supreme Court hearing the matter.
At no time did the authors of the 14th amendment ever mention birthright citizenship. For 40 years AFTER the ratification of the 14th amendment no court had ruled, and no Congress had argued that there was something called birth right citizenship. I have spent 20 years explaining this, with specific references to texts, statements, rulings, and the like. Apparently, to no avail.
Will the Supreme Court do what’s compelled by the Constitution? The fact is that Roberts and Barrett are not constitutionalists, so it will be very difficult. But the Constitution says what it says, the intent of the 14th amendment’s authors is what it is, and the interpretation of the amendment for four decades after its adoption underscores all of it.
Moreover, even the Supreme Court has never ruled that the children of ILLEGAL aliens are part of the birth right citizenship fiction. But this current Court may do further damage to our nation’s immigration system, such as it is now, be enshrining into law what is not in the Constitution.
In unrelated news, I’d like to congratulate Mark Levin on being chosen as part of President Trump’s Homeland Security Advisory Council. Last night it was announced by the president, and I can’t think of a better voice to be in Trump’s and Noem’s ear than that of Mark Levin.
