Our Founding Director, @sifill.bsky.social , was in the Supreme Court today for oral arguments in #TrumpvBarbara- a case that could reshape birthright citizenship. Here are her initial reflections from the courtroom.

My response to Alito's argument today: AK 47s didn't exist when the 2nd amendment was written, therefore it should be null and void. @scotusblog.com you listening? #SCOTUS #BIRTHRIGHTCITIZENSHIP #TRUMPVBARBARA
A blackout poem: BIRTHRIGHT Executive Order 14160–Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship By the authority of State Purpose a priceless and profound gift is repudiated solely based on race. The United States has always excluded from birthright persons born not subject to the privilege of a white father or mother. Under the auspices of the State it is policy that no government shall recognize …
true children of the Homeland. All agencies consistent with this order disrespect the public. Definitions mean nothing to the authority of the people United. By Aeden Romeyn @pyrophobicpoet
A blackout poem using Executive Order 14160. Birthright citizenship is not a right we’re willing to lose. #politics #protestpoetry #immigration #blackoutpoetry #politicalpoetry #donaldtrump #supremecourt #trumpvbarbara #humanrights
It was the sound of a legal theory disintegrating in real-time. If you cannot explain the status of the original inhabitants of this land, you have no business trying to redefine the citizenship of everyone else.

🤔 READING THE TEA LEAVES.
Kagan dismantled the allegiance theory. Gorsuch — a conservative — asked hard skeptical questions of the government.
When you're losing Gorsuch, you're losing.
Decision later this term. Today was bad for Trump.

😬 TRUMP'S LAWYER SAID THE QUIET PART LOUD.
Built the whole case on stopping "birth tourism."
When pressed on the actual scale? Solicitor General Sauer said:
"No one knows for sure."
Gutting the 14th Amendment over a problem you can't measure.

⚖️ THE CASE IN 60 SECONDS:
Trump's EO: children born to undocumented or temp-visa parents are no longer citizens.
The 14th Amendment: "All persons born in the United States are citizens."
That's the whole dispute.

Jackson: So, are we bringing pregnant women in for depositions?
Administration: Basically, yes.

I have a small, humble request for #TrumpVBarbara arguments on Wednesday: someone tells Amy Coney Barrett that without birthright citizenship, we can't verify the immigration status of all the babies abandoned via safe haven laws due to #Dobbs.
@cwofsy.bsky.social, will it be you? @aclu.org #SCOTUS

Nearly 15 months after President Donald Trump issued an executive order attempting to redefine birthright citizenship, #SCOTUS will consider the constitutionality of the administration’s action.

This isn’t about immigration policy. It’s about whether the Constitution still means what it says. One case could erase 125 years of precedent and turn citizenship into a political weapon. We don’t get to stay silent.
