Clouds And Silver Linings

 That was quick (and smart):

Wow was that fast--an immigrant advocate group already filed an amended complaint seeking class action relief in its birthright citizenship case in federal court in Maryland
Filed in the case the Supremes just ruled on.
Trump: "Thanks to this decision, we can now promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis, and some of the cases we're talking about would be ending birthright citizenship, which now comes to the fore. That was meant for the babies of slaves."
Nope.
This is a lie (as usual). While I disagree with the decision, IT LEAVES THE INJUNCTIONS OF THE BIRTHRIGHT EO IN PLACE, just narrows them to the plaintiffs. And it does not limit nationwide class actions, which will be filed to achieve the identical outcomes. The EO remains unconstitutional.
(Well, remains presumptively unconstitutional; for now.) And if their substantive argument is what Trump is advancing, I don’t think even Thomas and Alito would go for it.

OTOH, I’d have bet even this Court would toss this case out instanter, so…

There’s also the option to reinstate universal injunctions through modifying the Judicial Act of 1789, which the majority argument rests upon.  Or we just get rid of these unitary executive idiots on the bench. A constitutional amendment that limits the terms of ALL federal judges, or just setting an age based retirement,  applicable to even sitting judges, would be even better.
