Birth rights, How far back are we going?

[G_j]

How far back are we going? Because last I recall from History class the only ones with birth rights in this country are Native Americans!

1. How far back? The Middle Ages.

2. The ruling wasn't on Birth Right Citizenship

But rather the scope and scale of court injunctions. The fight goes on.

3. Yep. I'm a seventh generation American. If my sixth great grandparents did not have birth rights,

that means their children were born to non-citizens. If those children also don't have birth rights to citizenship, they are not citizens either, nor were their children, nor their children, nor their children, and so on down to me.

So who is actually a citizen, then?

4. I think the indigenous people should decide..............

5. The decision wasn't about birthright citizenship.

It was procedural - only about whether a federal district court could issue a nationwide injunction. The plaintiffs in this case were challenging Trump's EO attempting to limit birthright citizenship, and SCOTUS said the injunction could be upheld only for these plaintiffs. Other people wanting to challenge the EO would have to do so themselves or by class action. The decision also applies to cases before the asshole judge in Texas who's been trying to limit abortion rights nationally.

Limits to Executive Order Power:
Executive orders cannot override existing laws passed by Congress or violate constitutional rights.
Judicial Review:
Executive orders are subject to judicial review, meaning that they can be challenged in court and potentially struck down if deemed unlawful, notes the American Civil Liberties Union

So, class action suits to follow ?
