Wouldn’t that invalidate himself as a citizen? Because his parents were immigrants that birthed that piece of human shit from a rotten pile of garbage that is his mother’s womb?

I don’t like him either, but I also prefer accurate information.

also, the issue before the Court concerns a TRO blocking implementation of the policy change. they’re asking for the Court to rule that TROs must apply only to named plaintiffs. that’s a separate issue from the legality of the EO itself, but it’s actually scarier, since it would neuter the lower courts’ last meaningful check on the Executive’s power.
