Supreme Court weighs birthright case and limits on rulings
Justice Barrett notes judges overreach delaying enforcement for 30 days and creating a patchwork of rules across 22 states and the rest of the U.S. The court’s emergency docket heard the matter as the administration argues for nationwide effect while several states push to preserve 14th Amendment birthright citizenship. Justice Sotomayor dissents, warning the ruling could let the government bypass the Constitution. The decision focuses on how rules would apply if the policy takes effect and whether notices can be publicized.
