Summary
A U.S. appeals court has blocked Donald Trump’s executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship for children of non-citizen parents.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Trump administration’s emergency stay request, upholding a lower court’s nationwide injunction.
The ruling, made by a three-judge panel, argued that citizenship rights under the 14th Amendment are beyond presidential authority to alter.
The Justice Department is appealing similar rulings in other states, and the case may ultimately reach the Supreme Court. Arguments in the 9th Circuit case are set for June.
He’s mostly followed rulings so far, so yes
Edit: and to clarify, I mean this in a “fight every fight” kind of way. Don’t give in and assume all fights are hopeless. That is exactly what Trump et al want from you. Use every tool to fight back
I don’t know where you’ve been, but it’s entirely the opposite.

Lol, Expect for all the ones that he hasn’t.
Are you uninformed? Or intentionally ilinformed?
My point is more so to fight every damn fight
Assuming that it’s all worthless is exactly what Trump wants from everyone
For what it’s worth, there are threats of contempt of court in some of those deliberate misinterpretations of the court
Wake me up when trump faces literally any consequences at all.
You can hold mid to lower level officials in contempt without as much pomp and circumstance as holding the president in contempt. They can be held in civil contempt (can include fines, asset seizures, and or jail time) which is not a criminal charge and thus not pardonable
If everyone below Trump gets the brunt, they’re going to feel obliged to actually follow the courts rather than what Trump says
… what
Media coverage of any good news is pretty minimal lately, but he has largely (though not entirely with some deleberate misinterpretation of them) been complying with court orders for the moment
Fight every fight with every tool you have
trump has complied with court orders. Really?
Yes, just gets 10x less coverage than all the horrible things
For instance
The Trump administration restores federal webpages after court order
Ok doomer
Just straight up false. Who is upvoting this shit?
