Citizenship Test

The Supreme Court is robin’ up today to hear arguments on birthright citizenship.

On inauguration day #2, President Trump signed an executive order denying birthright citizenship to children without at least one parent with permanent legal status, arguing the 14th Amendment doesn’t apply to parents with illegal or temporary legal status. 

POTUS-SCOTUS tensions have been rising since the High Court’s decision to reject many of Trump’s executive-ordered tariffs. Now, the Supremes must determine whether #47’s birthright order violates the Constitution or a 1940 federal law defining citizenship; a ruling is expected in June.

Meanwhile, SCOTUS ruled against Colorado’s ban on youth conversion therapy. Yesterday’s 8-1 decision sided with a Christian counselor, who argued the ban on using counseling to change a minor’s sexual orientation or gender identity violates the First Amendment. 

CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE
Whether justice is served or subverted in American courts, we can count on perfect justice and inexhaustible mercy from the courts of heaven. The Lord is not swayed by the power and wealth that tempt us toward partiality, and his verdicts restore what sin has broken.
