Trump got a big shock from the US supreme Court!
US President Donald Trump has got a shock from the supreme Court. The court has stayed Trump's proposal to ban citizenship by birth. However, the court has agreed to hear arguments on this issue and it will be heard in May.
The US supreme court will not directly decide whether Trump's decision is according to the Constitution or not. For now, the court will focus on another technical matter, which can have a lot of impact in the future. That issue is whether lower court judges can order to stop the President's policies across the country or not.
The court put a stay
Three federal judges, in separate decisions, issued an injunction to stop Trump's order, which talked about ending the citizenship of children born in America. The judges said that this order is a direct violation of the 14th Amendment, because this amendment has long given the right to citizenship to almost all people born in America.
Last month, the trump administration filed an urgent appeal in the supreme Court. They asked the court to either remove or reduce these injunctions. The government said that the judges of the lower courts should not have the right to make such a big decision, which can stop any policy in the whole country.
Hearing will be on May 15
The US supreme court said in its order on thursday that it will hear the case on May 15. This hearing will be on the issue of whether the district judges have the right to give orders applicable in the whole country or not. It is rare for the court to schedule arguments on emergency appeals. This shows that the court is taking the trump administration's point seriously. If the supreme court agrees with trump that the judges have given orders beyond their authority, then this may allow the government to immediately implement its citizenship policy in some areas.
