Roberts and Barrett joined three liberal justices to block Trump’s executive order under the 14th Amendment.
The Supreme Court just delivered its most disastrous ruling in generations in Trump v. Barbara. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the three liberal justices to block President Donald Trump’s executive order and hand over birthright citizenship to the children of tens of millions of illegal aliens and birth tourists from China and other enemy nations.
The majority ruled that the 14th Amendment, which was passed after the Civil War to give former slaves equal rights, mandates citizenship to nearly anyone born on U.S. soil, even if they entered illegally, even if they’re a foreigner who hates America, even if they’re only here on a temporary visa and even if they are gaming our system as a Chinese birth tourist.
Under this logic, American citizenship means nothing but birthplace. Forget heritage, patriotism or common values. All that matters is location.
This decision destroys what it means to be an American. It ranks among the court’s very worst, alongside Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857) and Roe v. Wade (1973).
Justice Samuel Alito warned in dissent, “This is one of the most important decisions in the history of the Court, and in my judgment, the Court has made a serious mistake.”
