President Donald Trump says he will ask the US Supreme Court to rehear a case challenging birthright citizenship, after its insane ruling rejecting his efforts to restrict the long-standing constitutional provision.https://t.co/UyasQxXOug News Analysis & Summary President Donald Trump has announced plans to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to rehear a case challenging birthright citizenship, following what he described as an 'insane' ruling that rejected his administration's efforts to restrict the long-standing constitutional provision. Birthright citizenship, rooted in the 14th Amendment, grants automatic citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soila principle that has been a cornerstone of American law for over a century. Trump's previous attempts to limit this via executive order were blocked by lower courts, and the Supreme Court declined to hear the case earlier this year. Now, Trump seeks a rehearing, a rare procedural move that legal experts say has little chance of success. In my opinion, this is less a serious legal strategy and more a political gesture aimed at energizing his base ahead of upcoming elections. The constitutional text is unequivocal, and any change to birthright citizenship would require a constitutional amendment, not judicial reinterpretation. The Supreme Court is unlikely to reverse its stance, making this a symbolic battle over immigration policy rather than a viable legal path.
