@GhostOnTheHalfShell @Nonilex @GottaLaff is that not ultra vires, even for the Supreme Court?
Keep in mind that reporting often gets details wrong when it comes to technical details, and this case is no exception. A lot of these reports are misleading in substantial ways.
At its current stance, the request before the #SCOTUS is NOT about birthright citizenship. The Court is not being asked to rule on that, and in fact it cannot rule on that if it wanted to at this juncture.
That comes later in the process.
THIS is about how lower courts implement judicial process, whether they can issue injunctions with effect outside of their jurisdictions.
This is about judicial procedure, not about #birthrightcitizenship.
Ultimately, #SCOTUS could absolutely find that the #Trump order must be blocked, but not in this way.
