Rachel Maddow: And the push back continues to take many forms, um, including some unexpected ones. Um, today we did get a new lawsuit filed by one of the National Labor Relations Board members who Trump illegally fired this past week. It looks like we’re about to get another lawsuit filed by somebody else who Trump illegally fired from the EEOC. Today, another federal judge blocked the sort of wildly brazenly unconstitutional gambit from Trump’s first day to declare the 14th Amendment to the Constitution to be null and void, saying it’s no longer true that if you’re born here, you’re an American. At the end of a court hearing on this matter this morning, the federal judge just ruled right then and there in her Maryland courtroom. She said, quote, Trump’s executive order conflicts with the plain language of the 14th Amendment. It contradicts 125 year old binding Supreme Court president, and it runs counter to our nation’s 250 year history of citizenship by birth.The judge said, quote, no court in the country has ever endorsed the president’s interpretation. This court will not be the first. And scene.
So, all children of people in the USA illegally are automatically American citizens. An illegal alien woman can literally step one foot over the border, give birth, and her baby is automatically a U.S. citizen. And Trump can’t fire people who he doesn’t think are fit for the job. Time for change.
