The ruling did not resolve the core issue: whether the 14th Amendment grants birthright citizenship to children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents, a matter slated for future Supreme Court review.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the Supreme Court&#8217;s stance, a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel recently ruled 2-1 to allow a nationwide injunction against president Trump&#8217;s executive order restricting birthright citizenship, reasoning that such broad relief was necesary. The judges involved were politically appointed by both Clinton and Trump, with the dissent cautioning against courts overstepping their jurisdiction.This marks the second time lower courts have issued nationwide injunctions on this issue, highlighting an ongoing tension between judicial limits and politically charged immigration policies.<\/p>\n<p>the article suggests that while the Supreme Court has curtailed universal injunctions, some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-establishment-clause-jurisprudence-is-moving-from-sour-to-sweet\/\" title=\"Establishment Clause Jurisprudence: From Sour to Sweet\">lower courts continue<\/a> to overreach, complicating the legal landscape surrounding birthright citizenship.

Coughenour of the Western District of Washington first issued the injunction, ruling that, to use the Times&rsquo; words, &ldquo;Mr. Trump&rsquo;s executive order would force them to put in place new systems to determine who is eligible for state benefits, and reduce the payments they receive from the federal government.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the states could abide by the order until it&rsquo;s decided before the Supreme Court &mdash; which I would assume will happen in relatively short order given the nature of the case &mdash; but that isn&rsquo;t the point.<\/p>\n<p>The point, again, is that the Supreme Court is only so supreme when it acts as rubber-stamp branch of the left. It no longer does so. Now, the left relies on lower courts to do that. The Supreme Court ended that, too.<\/p>\n<p>Their response? Well, apparently, their argument is something along the lines of the fictional non-jurist Jeff &ldquo;The Dude&rdquo; Lebowski: &ldquo;Well, you know, that&rsquo;s just like uh, your opinion, man.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s almost as if they&rsquo;re setting out to prove the Trump administration&rsquo;s point.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair to the fictional Mr. Lebowski, his reasoning was only slightly better than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/first-barrett-now-even-sotomayor-embarrasses-ketanji-brown-jackson-opinion-scotus-ruling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson&rsquo;s dissent<\/a>.
