(157,107 posts)3. Judge blocks Trump's 'blatantly unconstitutional' executive order that aims to end birthright citizenship
TFG's (aka The Felony Guy) executive order was drafted by that idiot John Eastman. Eastman has been disbarred in large part because Eastman is an idiot. I am like the judge in this case and wonder where TFG found an attorney stupid enough to push this executive order.

A federal judge said Thursday that President Donald Trumps executive order ending birthright citizenship was blatantly unconstitutional and that he was issuing a temporary restraining order to block it.
Judge John Coughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee who sits in Seattle, granted the request by Washington Attorney General Nick Brown and three other Democratic-led states for the emergency order halting implementation of the policy for the next 14 days while there are more briefings in the legal challenge.

Where were the lawyers when the decision to sign the executive order was made, the judge asked. He said that it boggled his mind that a member of the bar would claim the order was constitutional.
