    That isn’t true. That is what sensationalist headlines said the verdict was. The verdict had nothing to do with birthright citizenship.

    We desperately need media literacy training as a species.

      It is true. It’s not a ruling on birthright citizenship but it does stop the injunction against it.

      Edit to explain because I doubt you grasp: Without the injunction he’s free to act on a birthright citizenship ban unless sued by individuals or states on the behalf of said individuals. So over 20 states have no limit to this executive order pausing the deportation of people born in the US because they haven’t sued the federal government for breaking the 14th amendment.

      If anything this is far worse than just birthright citizenship because Trump can write executive orders far faster than lawsuits can be brought against the administration and lower federal courts can’t file injunctions against the administration, states or individuals have to sue.

      Again: The supreme court did give the ok, saying that it comes down to states and individuals to stop it because it removed the lower courts’ ability to file injunctions.

      Start media literacy training by never citing YouTube videos as sources. It’s far better to learn to read.

        The word for learning to read books is literacy.

        I was talking specifically about learning to read things that are not books.
