Supreme Court Appears "Skeptical" of Trump's Completely-Correct Arguments on Birthright Citizenship
Plus: Trump to Sign EO Cracking Down on Illegal Mail-In Voting

Of course. Republicans nominate liberals to the Supreme Court, recommended by the fake conservatives of the Federalist Society.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday mostly appeared skeptical of the Trump administration's argument to end birthright citizenship for babies born to parents who are not U.S. citizens.

Solicitor Gen. D. John Sauer argued Wednesday before the high court, with President Trump in attendance, that birthright citizenship "rewards illegal immigration" and urged the justices to rule that the children of temporary visitors and illegal immigrants should not be deemed as citizens at birth, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Most of the justices, on the 9-member bench, said the Constitution had been interpreted for more than a century to grant citizenship to "all persons born" in the U.S., regardless of the citizenship status of their parents.

Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett said the 19th-century debates over citizenship focused on newborns, not their parents' legal status.

"In none of the debates are parents discussed," Gorsuch said.

Of course the liberal woman and libertarian sissy are defecting, as usual.

Barrett said the 14th Amendment's framers declared a "new type of American citizenship. ... They don't focus on the parents. They focus on the child."

So she's already gone -- she's stating that she already knows exactly what the 14th Amendment means.

Justice Elena Kagan told Sauer that he was seeking a major revision in longstanding law.

"Birthright citizenship has been the rule for a very long time," she said. Because of this, she said, why "accept this revisionist history?"

...

Sauer argued in response that this understanding of birthright citizenship had been wrong from the beginning.

He said the citizenship rule did not extend to the children of immigrants and visitors who were "subject to a foreign power," as those people did not have "allegiance" to the U.S.

Chief Justice John Roberts was also skeptical, saying, "It's a new world, but it is the same Constitution."

And there you go. The Grim Troika again.

Trump is ready to sign another EO, which our corrupt liberal Supreme Court will probably strike down because they don't want to stop Democrats from openly stealing elections.

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Tuesday cracking down on mail-in voting across the country, the Daily Caller learned first.

The executive order will require the Secretary of Homeland Security to create a list of verified U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote in each state with the Social Security Administration's help, according to a fact sheet shared with the Caller. The presidential action will also require that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) only send absentee ballots to those on each state's approved mail-in ballot list. Ballots will now have specific secure envelopes, with unique barcodes for tracking, the order mandates.

States will be provided with their revised list of confirmed voters no less than 60 days before each federal election under the order.

The executive order also tells the U.S. Attorney General to prioritize investigating and prosecuting anyone accused of sending ballots to ineligible voters, the Caller learned. States that disobey the order may lose federal funds under the presidential action.

...

The action comes as the U.S. Senate continues to debate the SAVE America Act. Under the legislation, voters would be required to provide proof of U.S. citizenship and ID, states would be required to clean up their voter rolls and approved reasons for mail-in ballots would be restricted.
