Supreme Court Issues Decisions on Birthright Citizenship, Trans Athletes and Campaign Finances
The justices also let states bar transgender girls from female school sports and struck down a federal campaign finance limit, handing wins to Republicans.
- On Tuesday, the Supreme Court delivered two major rulings, narrowly upholding birthright citizenship in a 5-4 vote while declaring that federal law does not prevent states from banning transgender athletes from female sports.
- The citizenship ruling rejected a Trump administration order attempting to limit birthright status, affirming the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to nearly all children born on U.S. soil regardless of parental immigration status.
- Defending his state's 2021 law, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis supported the athlete ruling, though LGBTQ+ advocates labeled the decision a "discriminatory sports ban" that stigmatizes transgender youth.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled Congress may move quickly to address the citizenship ruling, suggesting lawmakers could pursue statutory changes or a constitutional amendment to override the decision.
- Constitutional expert Jonathan Turley warned these decisions land during one of the most volatile periods in the Court's history, noting Democratic pledges to execute a "hostile takeover" by packing the bench.
