Supreme Court Faces Plea to Block Trump Mail-In Ballot Rules
The Story
President Donald Trump recently indicated the Supreme Court should not have the final say on his administration's priorities.
A report from The Washington Post states Trump has made it clear he will not accept Supreme Court decisions as the ultimate word on some of his cherished goals. Julian Mark of the Post notes Trump's stance. Legal experts describe Trump's approach as pushing the boundaries of court opinions and attempting to circumvent rulings through alternative methods.
Harvard Law professor Richard Lazarus explained that President Trump challenges the bounds of the court's opinions, particularly concerning Fed member Lisa Cook's firing and birthright citizenship. Last week, President Trump issued a new executive order purporting to strip citizenship from some Americans. This action follows a similar executive order issued last year that also attempted to strip citizenship from many Americans born in the country.
President Trump is searching for the Supreme Court’s breaking point on birthright citizenship, according to one report. His administration has previously engaged in efforts to challenge established interpretations of citizenship. The Supreme Court's consideration of this plea represents a direct challenge to the administration's electoral procedures.
