"It had nothing to do with Illegal Immigration for people wanting to SCAM our Country, from all parts of the World, which they have done for many years," Trump said in his post. "It had to do with Civil War results, and the babies of slaves who our politicians felt, correctly, needed protection. Please explain this to the Supreme Court of the United States."
Trump cited the birthright citizenship issue as "yet another point that leads to the dysfunction of America."
"We are, for the sake of being politically correct, a STUPID Country but, in actuality, this is the exact opposite of being politically correct, and it is yet another point that leads to the dysfunction of America.

While the case being heard Thursday resulted from disputes against the president's effort to end birthright citizenship, the issue of whether it is permissible for lower courts to permanently block Trump's executive actions will hinge on the justices' decision.
Through universal injunctions, lower federal courts can bar authorities from enforcing a Trump executive order.
It is unclear when the justices' final ruling will come out. It could take weeks or it could take just several hours if they decide to issue an emergency ruling.
