A direct appeal to the Court - Read/Listen to Mark Levin's Argument on Birthright Citizenship

Trump Just Put Mark Levin’s Birthright Citizenship Argument In Front Of SCOTUS

The Great One, a scholar of the Constitution, discussed it and Birthright Citizenship on Sunday night

President Donald Trump is escalating his push to end birthright citizenship, publicly urging the Supreme Court to take a closer look at a conservative legal argument that challenges more than a century of settled law.

In a post Monday at 12:57 a.m., Trump called on the justices to consider the views of Fox News host Mark Levin, who has argued that birthright citizenship rests on a flawed reading of the Constitution. The timing was notable. It came just after the Court heard oral arguments in a closely watched case over Trump’s executive order restricting automatic citizenship.

Trump’s message was blunt. He criticized the Court and suggested the justices should “study” Levin’s interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

Levin has been a leading voice among conservatives questioning birthright citizenship. His core argument is straightforward: the Constitution does not explicitly guarantee it. He also contends the 14th Amendment was written with a narrower purpose in mind, mainly to secure rights for formerly enslaved people after the Civil War, not to address modern immigration.

Supporters of Trump’s approach say the current understanding of birthright citizenship goes beyond what the framers of the 14th Amendment intended. They argue that correcting that interpretation does not require rewriting the Constitution, only applying it more accurately.

Levin held up a pocket manual of the United States Constitution of the very same one I have.
