President Trump on Thursday said he will appeal the judge’s decision to block his executive order on birthright citizenship.
On Thursday Seattle-based US District Judge John Coughenour, a Reagan appointee, temporarily blocked Trump’s birthright citizenship order.
According to President Trump’s order, the 14th Amendment is being misinterpreted by the left to give citizenship to ‘anchor babies.’
“It is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United States citizenship, to persons: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth,” Trump’s order stated.
Trump’s order argued the 14th Amendment has always excluded babies born to people in the US illegally.
four decades on the bench. uhhhhh time to move on and give another a chance you selfish stupid old d-bag
Simple solution. Those knocked-up ILLEGALS come across the Border need to be snatched up, then hauled to the nearest Planned Parenthood Chop Shop where the kid is removed jig-saw puzzle style with an ICE Agent there to verify the procedure. Then the mother needs to be permanently sterilized before deportation to help in the Population Explosion and she she can’t ever try the same stunt again. I dought they afford to the invitriol route. It also save tons of money over allowing the Anchor Baby and the U.S. having to fully support them both plus all the others she may spit out.
Ignore the order. Biden did it and no one on the left cared.
This judge may be a jerk, but we all know that this was going to happen, and is a necessary part of the process. Recognize the step, and where it leads to, but no reason to remember this judge’s name.
The parents are still illegal. They need to go. The kid can only stay if they have a sponsor home here in the US. Nowhere in the 14th amendment does it say that a child’s US citizenship automatically bestows it on the parents.
@Left Coast Dan — Bingo. Constitutional scholars with no ideological / political axes to grind (yes, there are some) have come down on both sides of this question. It has to go to SCOTUS now. They’ve never issued a decision directly applicable and it is urgently needed. Judge Whoozis just simply did what was necessary to speed things along, thankyouverymuch haveaniceday.
I find it amusing they point out the judge is a Reagan appointee… Nearly 40 years on the bench (if not more), and they’re still a district judge. Kind of telling in and of itself. But also of note… Back in the day, judicial appointments were handled a bit different. The state’s Senators could quash the appointments before they even made it to the Senate, it was one of those informal backroom deals that’s been set aside in our increasingly partisan divide. So they might be a Reagan appointee, but one that Reagan simply agreed to appoint, but didn’t bother to fight over.
This is the same mechanism that turned the 9th Circuit of Appeals into such a s**tshow prior to Trump.

In order for President Trump’s EO to work, state and local authorities would have to cooperate by determining the citizenship of parents at the hospital where the baby is born, right? At this point, there is no way that blue states and blue cities/counties would cooperate, so the judge’s decision actually speeds the process along in its long journey to the Supreme Court. Hopefully, the “Wise Latina” will be replaced on the court before this case gets there.
bitches can excrete their future drat-voters outside of us borders, fkoff
It’s all part of a plan. Even if we still won’t know who shot and killed JFK, RFK, and King Jr., Trump is revealing stuff Americans have a right to know about. Same with our Constitution and the decades of “legislating from the bench” by Howard Zinn acolytes and legislators who have proclaimed it as a “living document”.
Americans will soon see that many things are immutable.
To hell with the rat children, too. Stuff them in a canon and blast their sorry asses back over the wall. Latinos are degenerate trash.
I ran across this today. Sounds to me like game, set, and match.
These discussions happened May 30, 1866.
The PRESIDENT pro tempore:
“The question is on the amendments proposed by the Senator from Michigan, [Mr. Howard.]”
Mr. HOWARD:
“The first amendment is to section one, declaring that “all persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the States wherein they reside.” I do not propose to say anything on that subject except that the question of citizenship has been so fully discussed in this body as not to need any further elucidation, in my opinion.
This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States.
➡️ This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States.
This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country.”

“subject to the jurisdiction thereof,”
That’s what I tried to tell the wife last night, but she wasn’t listening to it. Frustrating!
She continues to insist that the Anchor Babies be allowed to stay as US citizens, irregardless of parental citizenship and legal status.
don’t care what a pedocrat robe-****** has to say about anything
To interpret the 14th amendment the way the “anchor baby” crowd does is akin to covering a canvas entirely with black paint, and saying it is a beautiful landscape they have painted. Their argument/interpretation would be that since black is the combination of all colors….the painting is of a spruce covered mountain range in the background, with a crystal clear lake in the foreground, and if you can’t separate these individual colors out in your mind you are the one that is wrong in your interpretation.
In my comment above…. the canvas would be painted white…..black is ABSENCE of color, white is combination…
^^^ETB^^^
I like your interpretation with the black paint better.
He may have been a Reagan appointee, but living in Seattle…well, as Greg Gutfeld (and Madge) famously said, “you’re soaking in it”. Can’t get invited to many cocktail parties in Seattle if you act like a Reagan appointee.
Sweet dreams of deportation.
Dreamers Dreaming Dreamy Dreams.
The judge needs disbarred and removed. If he cannot accurately read the Constitution he has no business being a judge.
It seems to me that, a Mexican mother-to-be, whether legally or illegally inside the US:
1) Is a Mexican citizen, under the jurisdiction of the Country of Mexico; And,
2) giving birth anywhere (including the United States) outside her native country, gives birth to a Mexican citizen.
A similar line of reasoning also applied (back then) to American Indians who were “loyal to their Tribe”, and also could not become an American citizen.
So, such questions came to a point where the citizenship of freed slaves (and indentured servants loyal only to the US) had not yet been addressed for these people.
At best, Mexico was, on many occasions back then, an enemy of the newly-formed (and forming) United States.
