In the article, Birthright Citizenship Faces Supreme Court Climax, Steve said that a federal district judge’s ruling in a birthright citizenship case “was merely a preliminary finding that the case could go forward as a class action. It did not address the merits of birthright citizenship. Moreover, Judge LaPlante stayed his order for seven days to give the government time to appeal. We are still a long way from a decision on the merits. The case on the merits may not reach the Supreme Court until next spring. Based on the clear language in the Constitution allowing birthright citizenship, I believe the justices will strike down President Trump’s effort to repeal birthright citizenship.”
