Supreme Court Poised for Landmark Rulings on Birthright Citizenship, Key Cases as Term Ends
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court is set to conclude its nine-month term this Friday, with a highly anticipated flurry of rulings expected to impact critical areas of American life. Among the six remaining cases, a closely watched dispute concerning President Donald Trump’s attempt to end automatic birthright citizenship is at the forefront.
The 6-3 conservative-majority court will deliver decisions on cases heard since its October term began, covering significant issues such as voting rights, religious freedoms, and healthcare. The birthright citizenship case, centered on whether federal judges have the authority to block executive actions nationwide, carries broad implications for the extent of presidential power and judicial oversight.
While the court could side-step the nationwide injunction debate to address the merits of the birthright citizenship plan, the outcomes of these final rulings will shape legal precedents. Birthright citizenship, enshrined in the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, has long been interpreted to grant citizenship to nearly all persons born on U.S. soil. The justices are expected to recess for the summer following these decisions, returning for a new term in October.
