Supreme Court Debates If Babies Still Count as Citizens, Because Chaos
KEY POINTS
- ā¢On September 2025, the Supreme Court heard 'Trump v. Barbara,' a case challenging birthright citizenship.
- ā¢Trumpās 2025 executive order aims to overturn the 14th Amendmentās guarantee of citizenship for anyone born in the US.
- ā¢Justices showed skepticism about the administrationās arguments but agreed to hear the case, reflecting a shift in nativist ground.
On an otherwise normal Wednesday morning, the Supreme Court took a coffee break from routine country-saving stuff to entertain 'Trump v. Barbara,' a shiny 2025 case where President Donald Trump dared challenge birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendmentās pretty clearāborn here means youāre in. But Trump, apparently inspired by more unwelcome surprises than Starbucks charges, wants to scrap that and birth a new stateless American underclass. The justices, looking like kids caught doodling in class, threw skeptical glances at the administrationās arguments, reminding everyone that maybe constitutional basics arenāt totally negotiableāeven in 2025.
