After Supreme Court setback, Trump again targets birthright citizenship

After the Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. Barbara, President Trump again is tinkering with birthright citizenship. Austin Sarat in The Conversation looks at two recent executive orders: "As someone who has studied citizenship law, I found the two birthright executive orders eye-catching. At first glance, they seemed to defy the Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship decision. But on closer examination, the picture is not so clear. That’s because the orders target aspects of birthright citizenship that the Supreme Court did not address in its June decision."
