The SC can go fuck themselves. I was a birthright citizen, born in SF before my parents had gained their citizenship—just like many in this country before and after me.
BREAKING: Supreme Court limits universal injunctions issued by federal courts in birthright citizenship case decision
Supreme Court limits nationwide injunctions in birthright citizenship order
At issue was how the lower courts should handle President Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship, which limited citizenship only to children born of parents with permanent status to be in the U.S.

1/ Remember (& you’ll hear this caveat from all the legal commentators) today’s SCOTUS decision in the birthright citizenship case is not about whether Trump can do away with birthright citizenship in an EO. It’s about whether a single district judge can issue a nationwide injunction pausing the EO.

It's because of this Chinese man that we have birthright citizenship for ALL.
This Man Won Birthright Citizenship for All (Gift Article)
When officials denied that he was a citizen, Wong Kim Ark took his case to the Supreme Court and won. Today, that decision is the focus of debate over who can be an American.

I have Wong Kim Ark to thank for my birthright citizenship. I was born when my parents were still a long way from getting their citizenship. Fuck the felon.
Great-grandson of man who established birthright citizenship slams Trump executive order
“He’s feeding off the American mindset, and it’s not a healthy one,” said the great-grandson of Wong Kim Ark, whose 1898 Supreme Court case helped guarantee birthright citizenship.

Years ago, when I was working for CineVegas, I had to escort David Lynch up to a room we had for VIPs. In the elevator, he noticed my Cannes Film Festival bag that had all the winners of the Palme d'Or on it. He said "I have that bag too." I replied, "David, you're on this bag." RIP to a legend.

Many Latino immigrants in Los Angeles worked to extinguish some of the fires with hoses. They aren't firefighters, they were just helping people in other neighborhoods.
