Summary

The ACLU has filed a lawsuit challenging Donald Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship, arguing it violates the 14th Amendment.

The order denies citizenship to children born in the U.S. if their parents are unlawfully present or have temporary status, despite constitutional protections granted since 1868.

The lawsuit warns this move would create a "subclass" of noncitizens, harm immigrant families, and disproportionately target children of color.

Democratic governors and legal experts have criticized the order as unconstitutional. The ACLU seeks to have it blocked in court.

I think it's well past time for impeachment.

It should've happened on Inauguration Day.

No, not yesterday, the first one. And it should've happened because of the Emoluments Clause, let alone all the illegal shit that's happened since.

I'm sure the Dems will get around to round 3 after the midterms, but unless there's a staggeringly large blue wave, it's not going to go anywhere that time either.

Are you aware he's already been impeached twice? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_Donald_Trump

IIUC, presidents have to be impeached and convicted by the senate before they're removed from office.

If anyone else read this headline and thought about how busy the ACLU is going to be this term, here is the page where you can provide financial support.
