Trump’s executive order came on the same day that he took an oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Trump’s choice for attorney general, Pam Bondi, was evasive about protecting birthright citizenship during her first confirmation hearing last week, saying only that she would “study” the issue.

Those lawsuits have now entered the federal court system, where their fates will depend on which judge will preside over them.

During Trump’s first term, he appointed 234 federal judges, many of whom are now responsible for approving conservative priorities and defending Trump from legal action.

Now Trump will depend on these friendly judges to rule against the lawsuits filed against his executive orders. »
