Trump uses Supreme Court birthright citizenship case in bid to limit judges' power

WASHINGTON − Judges across the country have blocked some of President Donald Trump’s biggest policy changes − roadblocks the president has called “toxic and unprecedented.”

Trump is counting on the Supreme Court to fix that.

-snip-

The president hasn’t asked the high court to consider the legality of his policy – which was called “blatantly unconstitutional” by the first judge to review it.

Instead, Trump wants the justices to narrow the scope of multiple court orders keeping his new rules on hold until the citizenship policy has been fully litigated.

Is it Bondi or someone else who's blowing smoke up his ass? Birthright citizenship sounds pretty cut and dried to me.

He could say the sun is a black hole and his sycophants would smile and tell him he's a genius. Also given his plans keep getting blocked, I wouldn't trust the legal advice. At most the strategy is throw things at the wall and hope things stick or the people getting illegally fired find a new job rather than waiting for their case to play out
