President Donald Trump is calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to fix its “miscarriage of justice” that it delivered to the American people with its recent birthright citizenship ruling.
That decision said, in layman’s terms, that anyone in the world has a right to claim U.S. citizenship for their newborns if those infants are born in the United States, even if the parents are illegal aliens, fleeing criminals, birth tourists, or something else.
Trump said, “Signs and Billboards are being put up all over our Southern Border, and Mexico, advertising BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP, with ‘Deliveries starting at $4000.’ Likewise, similar signs going up all over our Country. Billions of Dollars will be illegally made by this SCAM, with Citizenship going to anyone willing to pay. It will be, by far, the number one way of becoming a citizen, and then the entire family will be allowed to follow. Not sustainable. NOBODY SAW THIS COMING!!! AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP IS NOT FOR SALE! In fact, that is a crime, and therefore, the Supreme Court’s ruling is wrong. I will be asking for a Rehearing by the United States Supreme Court, IMMEDIATELY. This miscarriage of justice will destroy America if they don’t change their absolutely insane decision.”
The Supreme Court rarely rehears cases, although it has happened on occasion in the past.
A report at the New York Post said the last time the justices chose to rehear a case was in 1965, and that involved a technical issue.
“The Supreme Court has only reversed a merits ruling once, in 1956’s Reid v. Covert. In that case, the justices initially ruled that American civilians accused of crimes on overseas U.S. military bases could be tried via court-martial before finding the following year that they could not,” the Post reported.
However, it’s relatively common for the justices to overturn their own precedents when circumstances force them to acknowledge their early decisions were wrong, such as in Roe v. Wade.
Famously, the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling outlawing school segregation in America struck down 1896’s Plessy v. Ferguson, which allowed the maintenance of “separate but equal” facilities for members of different races, the publication said.
Roe was overturned in 2022.
In the current court catastrophe, the justices ruled 5-4 that “children of ‘parents unlawfully or temporarily present’ in the U.S. automatically become citizens in keeping with the 14th Amendment.”
A report at CNBC called Trump’s request a “long-shot bid.”
Trump earlier had issued an executive order returning the handling of the children of illegal aliens to previous standards.
That would be that citizenship was not automatic for babies born in the U.S. if their parents were illegally in the country, or were undocumented residents.
