    A federal judge agreed Thursday to issue a new nationwide block against President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship.

    The ruling from US District Judge Joseph Laplante is significant because the Supreme Court last month curbed the power of lower court judges to issue nationwide injunctions, while keeping intact the ability of plaintiffs to seek a widespread block of the order through class action lawsuits, which is what happened Thursday in New Hampshire.

    NOOOOOO power in a USA Prez to define text of USA Const

    1803 Marbury vs Madison – ONLY judicial power

  2. Supreme court said they can’t do this already. So their injunctions have no force except possibly in their district.

  3. If a case goes to the supreme court and they issue a ruling like casa doesn’t that override subsequent lower court decisions ?

    What would then be the point of appeals to supreme court again? What could they say or do the second time that they couldn’t the first?

  4. The president isn’t defining what the constitution says. He’s simply clarifying what it said all along. Even the wrongly decided Wong Kim case concerned a legal permanent resident, as the court took time to explain in that case.
