President Trump, after the ludicrous defiance of the Constitution and Civil Rights Act of 1866 by the United States Supreme Court in the Trump v. Barbara case, which rejected President Trump’s executive order 6-3, is calling for the court to do something rare – revisit the case. Trump was infuriated by the ruling, as were dissenting justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. The president took to TruthSocial to post about birth tourism facilities and how the SCOTUS decision will allow our country to become a greater victim to the giant scam. He went on to indicate that “the Supreme Court’s ruling is wrong. I will be asking for a rehearing by the United States Supreme Court, IMMEDIATELY. This miscarriage of justice will destroy America if they don’t change their absolutely insane decision.”
Asking for reconsideration doesn’t guarantee the High Court will actually grant the request, and Supreme Court rehearings are a very rare occurrence in United States History. But, under the court’s Rule 44 a rehearing request may be filed within 25 days of the judgment. The rule is intended to address exceptional circumstances, including significant legal and factual issues the court might have overlooked. The court grants few such petitions, and a rehearing cannot be ordered unless a justice who joined the majority supports it.
President Trump’s response is fair considering the unknown number of foreigners from places like Russia and China who are known to make elaborate plans to be in this country when their kids are born. Birthright citizenship is not only not protected by the Constitution, but it opens the door for legalized invasion of our country.
It’s a long-shot to get the court to revisit the case, but President Trump is right to make the request.
