In a shocking twist of events, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has ruled on President Trump’s controversial birthright citizenship order, putting lower court powers to the ultimate test.
In a 5-4 decision, the SCOTUS justices declared that Trump’s executive order to eliminate birthright citizenship for children of non-citizens born on U.S. soil is unconstitutional. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, known for her sharp wit and no-nonsense attitude, delivered the majority opinion, stating, “Sorry, Mr. President, but you can’t just change the Constitution willy nilly. It’s not like redecorating the Oval Office.”
Trump, never one to back down from a fight, immediately took to Twitter to express his outrage. In a series of tweets, he ranted, “SCOTUS is FAKE NEWS! They don’t know the first thing about making deals. Sad! #birthrightgate.”
Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried to spin the decision in a positive light during a press conference. “President Trump respects the decision of the SCOTUS, but rest assured, he will continue to fight for the American people and their right to a secure border. As he always says, ‘Build the wall!'”
Legal experts were quick to weigh in on the ruling, with Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz calling it a “slam dunk victory for the Constitution.” However, not everyone was pleased with the outcome. Fox News host Sean Hannity, known for his unwavering support of Trump, lamented, “This is a dark day for America. The deep state strikes again.”
As for the lower courts, they were left scratching their heads, wondering what this ruling means for their own powers. Judge Judy, a fictional TV judge known for her tough love approach, quipped, “I guess we’ll just have to stick to ruling on petty theft and divorce cases for now. Thanks a lot, SCOTUS.”
In the end, it seems that Trump’s attempt to rewrite the rules on birthright citizenship has been thwarted by the highest court in the land. But knowing him, he’s already brainstorming his next big idea. Stay tuned for more executive orders and constitutional crises, coming soon to a Twitter feed near you.
