In the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday, the justices tried a case challenging constitutional provisions to ensure automatic citizenship for all babies born in the U.S., but the arguments highlighted a separate issue: Federal District Court judges can target government regulations nationwide.

The Supreme Court has emerged on this issue.

Some seem to be skeptical of the Trump administration’s argument that lower courts should not have the right to issue a national ban.

"How do hospitals deal with newborns? How do states deal with newborns?" Judge Brett Kavanaugh asked D. John Sauer, a government lawyer, to see how the federal government will implement Trump's orders.

Justice Brown Jackson is even more pointed.

"If you can take power, your argument seems to at least turn our judicial system into my bondage ... Everyone has to have a lawyer and file a lawsuit so that the government can stop violating people's rights," she said.

But Justice Clarence Thomas seemed to be more receptive to Seal's argument, noting that until the 1960s, the United States "survived".

Jeremy Feigenbaum, a New Jersey judiciary that represents the state that sued the government in 22 states, told the court that the national injunction should be obtained in "narrow situations", such as cases involving birthright citizenship.

Kelsi Corkran, representing the rights of pregnant women and immigration, suggested that a nationwide injunction is allowed only if the plaintiff believes that the government lawsuit is unconstitutional. She believes that the injunction that is limited to the parties in this case alone would not be "administratively feasible."

President Trump has long insisted that the Constitution is indeed no Guarantee citizenship with the right to birth. So on the first day of his second presidency, he issued an executive order prohibiting automatic citizenship for any infant Parents born in the United States illegally enter the country, or are on legal but on temporary visas.

On Thursday, he posted on “Society of Truth” that “It all started after the end of the Civil War, and it has nothing to do with current immigration policies!” – The repeated false claim is that the United States is the only country with birthright citizenship.

Immigration rights groups and 22 states immediately filed a Trump order to the court. Since then, three federal judges have ruled that, as people say, the Trump executive order is “blatantly unconstitutional.” Three separate courts of appeal refused to lift the orders while the appeal was ongoing. Meanwhile, Trump's legal claims have few supporters.

Nevertheless, the Trump administration handed over its case to the Supreme Court in response to the emergency. But instead of asking the court to rule on the legitimacy of Trump’s executive order, the administration focused its arguments on the power of federal district court judges in order to do what they do here - against the government nationwide.
