Arguing that people without papers "are not subject" to US jurisdiction. . . is patently. . . silly. And self-defeating for these idiots. So the executive order is dead -- before the Sharpie's ink even had a chance to fully-dry.
Here's the completely unsurprising account, from the AP:
. . .A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order redefining birthright citizenship, calling it “blatantly unconstitutional” during the first hearing in a multi-state effort challenging the order.
“This is a blatantly unconstitutional order,” USDC Judge Coughenour (a Ronald Reagan appointee) told Shumate. The judge said he’s been on the bench for more than four decades, and he couldn’t remember seeing another case where the action challenged so clearly violated the constitution.
[Tangerine attorney] Brett Shumate said he. . . disagreed and asked the judge for an opportunity to have a full briefing on the merits of the case, rather than have a 14-day restraining order issued blocking its implementation.
Arguing for the states, Washington assistant attorney general Lane Polozola labeled as “absurd” the government’s argument that the children of parents living in the country illegally are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. . . .
Yep. Just as I said -- when I gave you some "Lion King" to smile over. Here's some more:
[In parting, I'll note that hard right loons. . . don't read very well. Arguing that "not subject to US jurisdiction" line. . . may be the most self-defeating argument a MAGAt ever put forward, in public. Out.]
