Expect this to go all the way to SCOTUS. I would imagine multiple lower courts will rule on it in the near-term, probably with injunctions and such. Multiple lawsuits challenging it have already been prepared and will be filed shortly

Certainly reminiscent of Bannon's shock and awe strategy from '16

False. I would have agreed with you if this order also included ending it also for all "US Citizens" and "lawful permanent residents", but it does not.

Read it again and you can clearly see that it is for those who are *not born to permanent "US citizens" or "lawful permanent residents"*.

>>> (c) Nothing in this order shall be construed to affect the entitlement of other individuals, including children of lawful permanent residents, to obtain documentation of their United States citizenship.

it's still ending _birthright_ citizenship; if you're born to US citizens (wherever you may be born) you get citizenship through your parents, not birthright.
