Trump Administration Misses Deadline to Rehear Birthright Citizenship Case
The Trump administration has not filed a petition to rehear the Supreme Court's decision that struck down President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship. The deadline for filing the petition was July 27, and no such request appears on the court's docket. The Supreme Court had previously ruled that Trump's order was inconsistent with the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause. The decision was supported by a majority of justices, including Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Justice Brett Kavanaugh agreed with the outcome but for different legal reasons.
