Trump Seeks Supreme Court Rehearing on 6-3 Birthright Citizenship Ruling

Summary
Trump said he will immediately ask the Supreme Court to rehear its decision striking down his order denying birthright citizenship to children of people in the U.S. illegally or temporarily.
The president called the ruling a “miscarriage of justice” and “absolutely insane” in a Truth Social post after the court ended its term last month with the decision.
A rehearing is a long shot: the Supreme Court rarely grants such requests, and Georgetown law professor Steve Vladeck said the last one approved was in 1965.
The fight centers on the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of citizenship to people born on U.S. soil, a protection the court upheld against Trump’s attempted restriction.
