   Nothing supreme about this court who should have clearly upheld the 14th amendment. Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote: “With the stroke of a pen, the president has made a solemn mockery of our Constitution.”
   Yesterday’s PBS News Hour addressed this issue in a conversation with Supreme Court analyst and SCOTUS blog co-founder Amy Howe, and Amanda Frost, professor of immigration and citizenship law at the University of Virginia.
   Amy Howe: “As for the issue of birthright citizenship, which was the context in which this case came to the court, the Supreme Court didn’t address whether or not the president’s executive order, which he signed shortly after he was inaugurated, ending birthright citizenship was itself constitutional. And that battle is going to go on.”
   Amanda Frost noted:”… this creates a potential for patchwork citizenship. And, of course, Americans, all of us inhabiting the United States are free to move from one state to the other. There’s no borders. There’s no passports. And now you’re a citizen if you’re born in one state or not the other potentially.
   It would inspire potentially pregnant women to leave one state to give birth in another. I think this would be very chaotic. I will note that, at oral argument, Justice Kavanaugh asked Solicitor General Sauer, how would this be implemented? What is the plan? And Solicitor General Sauer said, we will have to figure that out. They have 30 days to do so.”
   Again, I repeat, there is no Supreme in this Supreme Court except for Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson
