The Supreme Court heard oral arguments this week on Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship. But they’re facing an uphill battle, since — as the court’s liberals happily remind them — they’ve lost every case on this issue so far. 

For background, Trump signed an executive order banning birthright citizenship in the United States. But there’s one major problem: the first sentence of the 14th amendment says all people born in the United States are automatically citizens. The White House has defended the policy, saying the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 allows the suspension of habeas corpus rights during an invasion. Trump’s odds were looking slim in court, given we’re not under an invasion of any kind. But that all changed over the weekend, when an antique Mexican naval vessel accidentally crashed into the Brooklyn bridge.
