A federal judge in New Hampshire blocked Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship, certifying the case as a nationwide class action.

The decision from U.S. District judge Joseph Laplante comes after the US supreme court said federal judges could only issue nationwide injunctions if they certified plaintiffs as a nationwide class. The issue is expected to return to the US supreme court, which has not yet decided on the constitutionality of Trump’s order.

    “Despite”? They did the exact process SCOTUS laid out. Now we get to see them retroactively decide that this group can’t be certified as a class or that the judicial branch doesn’t have jurisdiction over immigration. Whatever it takes to gargle Nazi balls some more.
