First Circuit insists on its novel claim that the 2024 election did not dissolve the United States Constitution
By 
Kind of refreshing to see a federal court issue an actual reasoned opinion on the merits that doesn’t read like a blog in the Free Bari:
BREAKING: The First Circuit rejects Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship. In the New Jersey-led multistate case, the appeals court, in a 100-page ruling, keeps the nationwide scope of the injunction blocking the EO in place. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us…

The question presented in this case is not whether the executive order is constitutional, but whether the Constitution applies to any set of facts that would prevent Donald Trump from attaining a policy objective. (Note that even Josh Blackman’s favorite white nationalist essay implicitly concedes this point by asserting that the 14th Amendment is, un, unconstitutional.) Trump’s assertion that birthright citizenship does not apply in these cases is precisely as constitutional as an executive order awarding 20 Senate seats to Wyoming or allowing a 6-year-old born in Luxembourg to run for president.
