Birthright Victory, Enduring War: The Court and Trump’s Long Game

The Supreme Court’s ruling upholding birthright citizenship is framed as a tactical win for Trump, but the author argues it’s part of a broader, patient strategy by the right to rewrite law and expand executive power. Tracing decisions on DACA, immigration, and the power to remove independent agency heads, the piece contends this is a long‑term campaign rather than a one‑off victory, and that democracy must respond with a generation‑spanning strategy rather than short‑term wins.

Trump pushes for Supreme Court rehearing to overturn birthright citizenship ruling

President Trump said he will seek a rehearing at the Supreme Court to overturn its birthright citizenship ruling, a move unlikely to succeed since the Court rarely grants rehearings (last done in 1965).

Trump Tests the Supreme Court’s Boundaries With Rare Rehearing Bid

President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to rehear two high-profile rulings—the birthright citizenship order and the Carroll defamation case—despite the court’s historical rarity in granting such requests; experts say rehearings are typically only granted for newly available information, not mere disagreement, and odds are still slim, with the DOJ not commenting.

Trump seeks Supreme Court rehearing on birthright citizenship after setback

President Trump says he will ask the Supreme Court to rehear its recent decision that blocked his order to end birthright citizenship for those born in the United States, arguing the ruling is wrong. The 6-3 decision cited the 14th Amendment, and while a rehearing is possible, the Court rarely grants them, and legislative action to restrict birthright citizenship faces hurdles even as public opinion polls remain supportive of birthright citizenship.

Trump seeks Supreme Court rehearing of birthright citizenship ruling

Trump says he will seek a Supreme Court rehearing of the June 30 ruling that birthright citizenship is guaranteed to anyone born in the U.S., despite his earlier executive order to curb it. Rehearing is rare and generally unlikely, with the Court not granting one in decades and last reversing an argued decision in the 1950s, making this a long-shot bid against the 14th Amendment interpretation.

Johnson mulls House floor vote on birthright citizenship to calm hard-liners

Speaker Mike Johnson is weighing a House floor vote on a bill to end birthright citizenship for children born to pregnant visitors, a move aimed at appeasing hard-liners but likely symbolic since the Senate would block it, as he navigates intra-GOP divisions over broader immigration reforms ahead of the midterms.

Abbott orders probe into Texas hospital over border birth-tourism ads

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directed the state’s Health and Human Services Commission to probe Mission Regional Medical Center after it advertised Spanish-language “Birth Packages” near the U.S.–Mexico border, including pricing for natural births and C-sections; the hospital has since removed the billboards and a related website. Abbott said citizenship is not for sale and vowed to pursue potential state-law violations, with referrals to the attorney general or local prosecutors as needed, as lawmakers consider edging birth-tourism restrictions in the wake of ongoing birthright citizenship debates.

Johnson Signals Push to Curb Birthright Citizenship Amid GOP Gridlock

House Speaker Mike Johnson says Republicans are considering legislative or constitutional fixes to birthright citizenship after the Supreme Court shielded the policy from Trump's order, but chances of real change this year are slim given razor-thin majorities and the hurdles to passing an amendment or new law; the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2025 exists but would struggle to clear the Senate amid GOP infighting.

Congress Holds the Key to Birthright Citizenship, Says Opinion

An opinion piece argues the Supreme Court erred in Trump v. Barbara by granting automatic birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment. It contends the clause reflects allegiance to the sovereign and not blanket citizenship for children of those under foreign power, citing historical debates and Wong Kim Ark. The author urges Congress to act—potentially by invoking invasion clauses to deny automatic citizenship for the children of illegal entrants and birth tourists, allowing naturalization instead—and suggests overturning Barbara via legislation or a constitutional amendment as a longer-term fix.

Birthright Citizenship Becomes a Trump-Style Litmus Test for the GOP

The Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship in a 5–4 decision, but The Bulwark argues the ruling exposed rifts in Trump’s coalition. A focus group of Florida voters who backed Trump revealed skepticism toward the 160-year-old precedent and a “moral alibi” around following the citizenship process—favoring instead a fair process—while many Republicans still lean hawkish on immigration, closer to Trump’s frame than reformers. The piece contends that Trump’s rhetoric has shifted the GOP’s immigration debate and that such positions will be a key litmus test for 2028 candidates, even in defeat.

Birthright Fallout: MAGA's Radical Backlash to SCOTUS Ruling

After the Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship, MAGA allies launched a furious backlash featuring Stephen Miller’s xenophobic framing, calls for intensified ICE enforcement, and even extremist notions like denying birth certificates to noncitizens or sterilization proposals. The piece emphasizes a growing radicalization on race and immigration within MAGA, while interviews with birthright citizens and immigrants reveal real fears of retroactive citizenship loss and threats to family safety, highlighting the ongoing fight over rights in the wake of the ruling.

SCOTUS Expands Presidential Reach, Keeps the Fed’s Independence Intact

The Supreme Court’s term largely advanced Trump’s priorities—expanding presidential power, shrinking the administrative state, and advancing GOP-friendly outcomes—while preserving the Federal Reserve’s independence in a key ruling and constraining unilateral tariff authority. Birthright citizenship was a mixed result, not a sweeping loss or win, and the Court signaled it won’t upend the Fed’s autonomy even as it weakens protections for other independent agencies. Overall, the court leans toward a more empowered presidency with selective economic safeguards intact.
