New Supreme Court Ruling WILL NOT Help Trump Cancel Constitutional Birth...


Some history on these issues: 

Scalia would say that this 14th Amendment provision applied to Freemen only, not as a general rule. It has largely been considered a view that is deaf to the actual intent of the drafters of the Amendment. The book Democracy Reborn by Garrett Epps goes into detail about this.

An example of this kind of case was when the Service Members Legal Defense Fund obtained a judgement in a district court in California overturning Don't Ask, Don't Tell for the entire nation. The Senate mooted the case by overturning the policy legislatively. That case, more than the Trump order, led right wingers like the Heritage Foundation, pay attention to this practice.

The decision in this case harkens back to Justice Thomas' concurrence in the Dobbs case overturning Roe.
