According to Justice Barrett a child born tomorrow in one district in the United States will not have U.S. citizenship but a child born in another one will. Will ICE deport the “noncitizens” born in one district while being prevented from doing so in districts that happen to have a judge that issues an injunction?

This ruling is idiotic even if you are generally opposed to nationwide injunctions. Birthright citizenship is a fundamental and clear cut right. Any attempts to overturn that must meet a high burden of justification. Temporarily suspending such attempts until the matter can firmly be decided causes the least amount of harm and should be allowed.

> Birthright citizenship is a fundamental and clear cut right.

That's pre-2025 thinking. Now, in 2025, there are no clear cut rights, other than, maybe, gun ownership.

Babies of non citizens born in the USA will be issued a Colt .45 and immediately deported.

Quite difficult to file a lawsuit from a prison in El Salvador.

Before today’s ruling nationwide injunctions were granted. Not sure how you can now claim “that’s how the court system works” when nationwide injunctions were fine before today’s ruling.

A President can now issue blatantly unconstitutional executive orders and the burden for obtaining relief will rest on each individual person (or small class of people). Prior to today rules/laws that caused harm could be temporarily prevented from being enforced while the matter is litigated. Now parties that will be harmed are much more likely to be harmed before the matter is resolved. This is a sad state of affairs.

If the next President issues an order confiscating guns from people the champions of today’s ruling will want nationwide relief while the matter is litigated.

If someone is going to be deported they can file a case and stop the deportation.

And you accuse OP of not paying attention!

Also, just because you did pay attention doesn’t mean it’s not idiotic. The patchwork of interpretations and requirement to sue is a guarantee of unequal treatment under the law, which is exactly what autocrats want.

What are you even talking about? I can't make any sense of your argument.
