Donald Trump just got overturned in court already
Donald Trump is flooding the zone with executive orders that are extremist, narcissistic, idiotic, and in many cases laughably unconstitutional. Trump is hoping to squeak as many of these orders as possible past the court system. But he’s already taken a blow.
Trump issued an executive order proclaiming that birthright citizenship no longer exists, which would give him the ability to deport anyone who was born here if their parents weren’t citizens at the time. But a federal judge has already blocked that order, accurately calling it “blatantly unconstitutional.”
Of course this will end up going before the Supreme Court, and you never know what they’re going to do. It seems like they rule correctly one-third of the time just to prevent any public momentum for expanding the court. But for now at least, Trump’s arguably most evil executive order has had its plug pulled.
