Supreme Court justices heard oral arguments Thursday in a case stemming from Trump’s now-halted order to end birthright citizenship — which is guaranteed under the 14th Amendment. The Trump administration is challenging whether federal judges can issue universal, or nationwide, injunctions against his orders. The case is raising alarms the far-right-dominated Supreme Court could hand even more power to the executive branch as Trump seeks to overcome court injunctions against his many executive orders. This is Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson: “Your argument seems to turn our justice system, in my view at least, into a 'catch me if you can' kind of regime from the standpoint of the executive, where everybody has to have a lawyer and file a lawsuit in order for the government to stop violating people’s rights.”
