This would be huge but I have little hope of them upholding it. And since it is an executive order, cant the next president just nullify it?

Kavanaugh’s animated back-and-forth with Sauer offered a window into the thinking of a key vote in the court’s conservative wing — if Kavanaugh breaks from the administration on workability grounds rather than constitutional ones, watch for a narrow ruling that avoids the 14th Amendment question entirely and instead remands implementation questions to Congress, which would be a significant loss for Trump’s team even if framed as procedural. In the prior round, the court voted 6-3 to limit nationwide injunctions, but left the door open to class-action suits — and Trump’s birthright order was put on hold again days later — meaning even a technical government “win” may not produce the policy outcome Trump is seeking before a June decision deadline.

Im doubtful the Supreme Court sides with the Trump administration on this one. Kids cannot control where they are born, if they’re born in America and not given citizenship and not given citizenship in their parents home country because the kid was not born there what is the child supposed to do?

Birthright citizenship only works if you have secure borders.
