Trump Demands ‘Loyalty’ From Supreme Court Justices On Birthright Citizenship
Trump urged the justices he appointed to be loyal to his birthright citizenship order after the court limited his tariff authority.
On Sunday, President Donald Trump called on Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch to be "loyal" to his executive order banning birthright citizenship, claiming they "have hurt our Country so badly" by striking down his tariff policy.
Trump appointed Barrett and Gorsuch during his first term, yet questioned why they "have shown so little respect to our Country" regarding his tariff policy, which the Supreme Court declared unlawfully imposed in February.
Despite warnings from Chief Justice John Roberts that personally directed hostility toward justices is dangerous, Trump continues pressuring the bench, claiming a ruling against his birthright citizenship order would be a "DISASTER" and not "economically sustainable."
Challenging the administration, the American Civil Liberties Union argues the order "flouts the Constitution's dictates" and established precedent, while lower courts previously blocked the move, citing the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause.
Supreme Court justices will likely issue their final ruling on the birthright citizenship case by late June, while the government recently launched a tool to refund more than $166 billion in tariff revenue previously struck down.
US President Donald Trump on Sunday called on Supreme Court judges to be "loyal" about his decree revising the law of the ground, while criticizing the recent invalidation of its customs duties by this court.
