The U.S. Supreme Court is poised to hear a highly contentious case regarding birthright citizenship, intertwining two significant controversies: President Trump’s efforts to end the constitutional guarantee and the potential curtailing of judicial powers. The case draws on a complex history, with roots tracing back to the 14th Amendment, and arrives amidst fears from expectant mothers and concerns about the implications for the undocumented population. As arguments approach, experts suggest that while Trump’s legal rationale may be weak, the political ramifications could provide him a boost. Advocacy groups and legal scholars are mobilizing, emphasizing the importance of defending this long-standing constitutional right. The outcome may not only shape immigration policy but also redefine judicial authority in striking down executive orders.
