Trump predicts Supreme Court will strike down his birthright citizenship order

President Donald Trump predicted Sunday night that the Supreme Court will strike down his executive order ending birthright citizenship in the United States.

In a social media post that singled out Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett by name, Trump declared the Court "will be ruling against us on Birthright Citizenship."

What they're saying:

"Well, maybe Neil, and Amy, just had a really bad day, but our Country can only handle so many decisions of that magnitude before it breaks down, and cracks!!! Sometimes decisions have to be allowed to use Good, Strong, Common Sense as a guide," Trump wrote. 

"A negative ruling on Birthright Citizenship, on top of the recent Supreme Court Tariff catastrophe, is not Economically sustainable for the United States of America!"

What's next:

The Supreme Court has not issued a ruling in the case, Trump v. Barbara, nor has it even indicated when it may hand down a ruling. The Court heard the case on April 1 and the justices typically keep their deliberations private until their opinions are released, a process that could take weeks. The decision could come as late as June or July.

Why you should care:

However the court decides will have longstanding and potentially far-reaching consequences for immigration policy and the rights of children born in the U.S. Should the court rule in favor of the administration, millions of children born to parents who are not American citizens may lose their citizenship.

What they're saying:

Trump’s post Sunday night started by noting Gorsuch and Barrett’s votes against his administration’s tariffs, which were recently struck down by the Court. He went on to accuse all justices who were nominated by Republican presidents of "go[ing] out of their way to oppose me" as a way to show independence.

"They have to do the right thing, but it’s really OK for them to be loyal to the person that appointed them to ‘almost’ the highest position in the land, that is, a Justice of the United States Supreme Court," Trump continued.

In the post, he indicated that the administration has another route to implement tariffs similar to the ones that were struck down, but did not further elaborate, other than to say it is a slower process.

Trump signed the executive order that aimed to end birthright citizenship on his first day back in office after being reelected. Opponents of the order argued it violated the 14th Amendment and precedents stretching back to the 19th century that found everyone born on American soil was a U.S. citizen, with very narrow and limited exceptions.

Trump’s Unprecedented Move

On the day of oral arguments, Trump made the unprecedented move of attending the session, a first for a sitting U.S. president. Meanwhile, demonstrators gathered outside the Supreme Court building to voice their opposition to the order.

During oral arguments, several justices voiced concerns about the foundation for the Trump administration’s arguments, while others questioned the logistical challenges of implementing the order.
