This doesn’t come as a surprise.
The whole point of issuing this executive order was to tee up a legal battle on birthright citizenship in the hope that the Supreme Court would take the case and set a new precedent.
“A federal judge said Thursday that President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship was “blatantly unconstitutional” and issued a temporary restraining order to block it.
Judge John Coughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee who sits in Seattle, granted the request by Washington Attorney General Nick Brown and three other Democratic-led states for the emergency order halting implementation of the policy for the next 14 days while there are more briefings in the legal challenge.
“I have been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case whether the question presented was as clear,” Coughenour said. …”
As I said repeatedly throughout both the 2022 and 2024 elections, the problem isn’t so much Trump as it is the Senate and federal judges. Activists want to focus exclusively on Trump. He isn’t a dictator and what ultimately becomes law mainly depends on the filibuster and how court rulings go.
The fact that we even having this fight about birthright citizenship is a huge win. If Kamala Harris had won, this issue would have never come up. Instead, Congress would be debating the size of her latest push for amnesty, which is what happened with Biden in 2021.
Note: This worthless judge is a Reagan appointee. The federal judiciary is full of people like this especially at the district court level.
