The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments next month in the case challenging President Donald Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship, in what is likely to be one of the most highly anticipated cases to be reviewed by the high court since Trump took office.

The justices said Thursday that they would hear arguments on the consolidated cases on May 15, roughly four weeks from now.

The Trump administration in March asked the Supreme Court to intervene and allow a narrow version of the president's executive order ending birthright citizenship to proceed. Trump signed the order on his first day in office and was immediately met with a flurry of lawsuits across the country.

The administration's appeal concerns three nationwide injunctions brought in Maryland, Massachusetts and Washington state.

As much as I want birthright citizenship repealed...I'll be surprised if it happens.

Well, let's see if the Supremes can get it right.

The intent was never to have 'anchor babies', and the current interpretation that it does is incorrect.

A minor child is subject to the same jurisdiction as their parents, namely the country of which they are citizens. Where you are born makes little difference, or at least should.
