Judge blocks Trump's bid to restrict birthright citizenship (www.bbc.com)

A US federal judge has blocked Donald Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship for children born to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily.

"Today, virtually every baby born on US soil is a US citizen upon birth," Maryland district Judge Deborah Boardman ruled. "That is the law and tradition of our country."

The ruling extends the existing pause on Trump's 20 January executive order until the legal process plays out, which could take months or even years.

It comes two weeks after a federal judge in Seattle called Trump's order "blatantly unconstitutional" and issued a 14-day restraining order. The judge will hold another hearing when that ruling expires on Thursday.

Glad to see some folk still have a pair and are willing to stand up to the Cheeto.

This will get appealed all the way up to SCOTUS who will handwave it through, unfortunately.

Sure, but hopefully it can get dragged out long enough other stuff comes into play....or something....idk man, I don't live in the US, but I have friends and immediate family there, I guess I need some kind of glimmer of hope that things might not go the way they look like they're going...

Well, no. You see there's clear precedent... oh wait (Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health org., overturned Roe v. Wade). But that's fine, the text of the amendment is very clear that it protects this case... oh wait (Trump v. Norman Anderson, president isn't an "officer of the United States" under the 14th Amendment, section 3)

... shit
