Trump hit with FINAL HUMILIATION by Supreme Court

You know, sometimes incompetence defeats maliciousness.And I want to explain what I mean by this.

You might remember that when the Supreme Court ruled against Donald Trump on ending birthright citizenship, Donald Trump immediately said, we're going to go right back at them.

This was a very important defeat for Donald Trump.And Trump said, we need a rehearing right away.And then, you know what happened?You know why you haven't heard more about that?because he missed the deadline.His administration never filed the paperwork.

And so now the Supreme Court has issued its judgment and this effectively closes the case.And this is another legal humiliation for Donald Trump on his way eventually out the door and off of this entire birthright citizenship.

So remember that at the end of June, The court ruled six to three.Trump can't earn and birthright citizenship through an executive order.You can't do it.If you were born in the United States to parents who are undocumented or parents who are here temporarily, you remain a citizen.because of the citizenship clause of the 14th amendment.That's what it says.

Now, this was very embarrassing for the administration.This was one of Trump's biggest second term priorities.He said on day one, we're going to end birthright citizenship.He did sign the executive order right away.When he got back into office, he became the first sitting president to go to the Supreme court for oral arguments.He, I guess, came to believe that his physical presence there would maybe intimidate or influence the justices.

And instead, he sat there as many of the justices, including some of the ones he appointed, completely tore apart his administration's argument.So then came the six three defeat.Chief Justice John Roberts, Trump appointed justices Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh.They rejected the administration's position, some completely and some in part.And then you had Thomas Alito and Gorsuch dissenting.Now, Trump responded exactly as you would have expected, which is that he posted way back when at the time, quote, Signs and billboards are being put up all over our southern border in Mexico, advertising birthright citizenship with delivery starting at four thousand dollars.

Likewise, similar signs going up all over our country.Billions of dollars will be illegally made by this scam with citizenship going to anyone willing to pay.It will be by far the number one way of becoming a citizen.And then the entire family will be allowed to follow.Not sustainable.Nobody saw this coming.

American citizenship is not for sale.In fact, that is a crime.And therefore, this is the key part.The Supreme Court's ruling is wrong.I will be asking for a rehearing by the United States Supreme Court immediately.Blah, blah, blah, et cetera, et cetera.

Well, The Supreme Court rules give you 25 days to request rehearing after a decision has been made on the merits.If they say, oh, you have no standing or jurisdiction, we have no jurisdiction.That's different.Supreme Court rarely says no jurisdiction, but you that would be different.But this is on merit.The deadline came and went and they didn't file a damn thing.

And then yesterday, the Supreme Court issued its formal judgment affirming the ruling.And the docket now says judgment issued.And that is it.The Trump administration was talking.as though this was an existential emergency.If we don't rehear this, it is going to destroy America.

But apparently even the destruction of America wasn't urgent enough for somebody to just fill out the damn paperwork, put the filing deadline in your calendar.And now we have this completely embarrassing situation.Now, if I'm always honest with you, the rehearing was a long shot to begin with.Trump would haveat least one justice in the majority to reconsider, followed by a majority of the court agreeing to revisit the case.This almost never happens after the court decides a case.

But Trump said we're going to try.We're going to file for it.I'm going to post with all capital letters about how important this is.And then the 25 days went by and it is over.And I find it to be a fitting conclusion to the effort because it was all absurd from the beginning.As I discussed with you back at the time, the 14th Amendment is very clear that people born or naturalized in the U .

S.and subject to its jurisdiction are citizens.Now, Trump insisted he could change the meaning of that.just by signing an executive order.And the Supreme Court said, no, you can't.And the majority on the court held that children born here to parents, no matter the status of the parents, parents are here unlawfully or they're temporarily here.

You're subject to American jurisdiction.You're subject to the jurisdiction of American law enforcement, for example.And you could be sued if you do something here in those circumstances.

And so that argument came and went.Trump said Congress could easily end birthright citizenship through legislation with no constitutional amendment.

That was also wrong because the Supreme Court said based on the Constitution, you can't just pass a law deleting the citizenship clause and ending that would require a constitutional amendment.And the obstacles for that are massive.So Trump lost on every single level.The executive order was blocked.The constitutional theory was rejected.

Three of his own Supreme Court appointees said, no, we're not going to do that.And so Trump wasn't able to do it.The final thing he had.

was this is so important to us.We're going to file the paperwork for a rehearing.And then they just never filed it.

The only caveat, the only caveat, and this is like super theoretical, Supreme Court litigation is never completely absolute in that lawyers can go and seek extraordinary relief.And in theory, The Constitution could be amended.But this case is at the end of procedure.And it's very funny how what we end up realizing is Trump doesn't give a damn about most of this stuff.Trump had made birthright citizenship his signature crusade.

He went to the Supreme Court.This was the most important thing he lost.He goes, all right, well, we're going to do a rehearing and then they just don't file it.Why?They've moved on to other stuff.It's once again another loss based on a promise that failed.

And they just move on.Trump doesn't really care that much.And what Trump really cares about is all of his construction nonsense that he's doing.And in fact, I want to talk about that a little bit.
