Trump Asks SCOTUS to Rule on Birthright Citizenship, Federal Firings
Next week, the Supreme Court will begin a new term, hearing an assortment of cases and untangling some of the nation’s most difficult legal problems. At the top of the agenda is President Trump, who’s calling on the high court to rule on whether he has the authority to end birthright citizenship.
Have you taken your place on the wall?
From Reuters:
President Donald Trump‘s administration asked the Supreme Court on Friday to review the legality of his bid to limit birthright citizenship in the United States, teeing up a major test of one of his most contentious policies that could alter how the U.S. Constitution has long been understood on the subject.
The Justice Department filed two appeals of lower court rulings that blocked Trump’s executive order, which the Republican president signed on his first day back in office in January as a key part of his hardline approach toward immigration.
“The lower court’s decisions invalidated a policy of prime importance to the President and his Administration in a manner that undermines our border security. Those decisions confer, without lawful justification, the privilege of American citizenship on hundreds of thousands of unqualified people,” the Justice Department wrote in the appeals.
Reuters notes the Supreme Court’s next term begins on Monday, October 6. The court hasn’t yet responded to the President’s plea, but it may do so closer to the start of the new term.
Intercessors may remember that the high court already weighed in on the President’s birthright citizenship order in June, though that ruling didn’t fully answer the question. The Supreme Court at the time chose not to address the underlying issue of birthright citizenship and President Trump’s executive order, choosing instead to limit the ability of judges to issue universal injunctions.
While the Supreme Court’s ruling is an answer to our prayers, it didn’t end the debate over birthright citizenship. While judges no longer have to authority to block the nationwide implementation of this order, some have still blocked it from applying to certain states and individuals.
But this case isn’t the only issue facing the Trump administration that the Supreme Court may weigh in on. According to Fox News, the court is also poised to determine whether the President has the authority to fire certain federal employees.
From Fox News:
The Supreme Court is set to reexamine a landmark decision about the president’s ability to fire members of independent agencies, and the outcome could expand executive power and have far-reaching implications.
The high court revealed in an order last week it would revisit Humphrey’s Executor v. United States, a 1935 decision that Hans von Spakovsky, a legal fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said is now on “life support.”
…
The Supreme Court’s decision came in response to a challenge from a Biden-appointed FTC commissioner whom President Donald Trump fired at will after taking office.
The Supreme Court previously issued a 6-3 emergency ruling in this case, ruling that Rebecca Slaughter, the commissioner in question, would remain fired while legal proceedings continue. Now, the high court is poised to settle the issue once and for all by taking on Humphrey’s Executor, a legal precedent that protects employees at independent agencies like slaughter from being fired without due cause.
Fox notes that the Supreme Court’s ruling here could have far-reaching implications. President Trump has been stopped from firing federal employees across different agencies several times now. If the Court rules in his favor, it could clear the way for a total reshaping of the federal government.
As the Supreme Court prepares to once again weigh in on President Trump’s actions, let’s pray for wisdom and boldness for every justice!

Jesus, we ask that the Supreme Court justices do what is right and just in your eyes. We asked that they would make Rite decisions based on the fear of the Lord, not their own political views.. We pray for a miracle fpr injustice that has been done to us through the misinterpretation of laws. We 🙏 you restore back all the enemy has stolen and continues to steal from America.
Thank you for our President who has brought this to the Supreme Court.
Lord pkease help the courts to give the President the ability to fire employees at will, unless they were voted in by the Congress. Then Congress would have to be the ones to fire them but should be required to act on a petition by the President yea or ney! Give us back accountability of employees to serve in agreement with the policices if the elected President. Amen
Lord, for our judges especially at the Supreme Court level, we ask for an outpouring of heavenly wisdom that is pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, righteous, sincere, direct, uncomplicated, protective and faithful to all, and most of all faithful to Biblical principles-for your glory!
There is a Supreme Court and Righteous Judge that even the mighty United States Supreme Court will have to give an account. The Righteous Judge does not have to bow to any man or country. Advice: Somebody should warn them because God is Real and He does not play. Amen and Amen!

Lord thank you for the president who sees the crime and evil in our cities. Lord, we pray that scale would fall from people size that they would see the truth and not spread lies.
Father, as our Supreme Court decides which cases to hear and makes decisions on them, may the justices seek you for wisdom. May they make decisions that you would have for the good of our country.
It is truly a shame that these issues have to be adjudicated by the Supreme Court. It is symptomatic of how far things have fallen in our nation. President Trump’s authority to enact policies are continually being challenged. This is truly a shame. He is our President, and needs to be given the respect and necessary authority that are consistent with the position in which he serves this nation.. Lord, I prat that Your will be done in this matter. Thank You Jesus.
