Get ready for a gripping episode of The TMI Show with hosts Ted Rall and Manila Chan, diving into one of the most pivotal legal battles of 2025! The main focus is the U.S. Supreme Court’s oral arguments on May 15, tackling whether federal courts can issue sweeping temporary stays to block President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship. This historic case, rooted in the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of citizenship for those born on U.S. soil, pits the Trump administration against 22 Democratic-led states and immigrant rights groups. Federal judges in Washington, Massachusetts, and Maryland issued nationwide injunctions, calling the order “blatantly unconstitutional,” but the administration argues these broad blocks overstep judicial power.
With arguments set to explore the scope of universal injunctions, the outcome could reshape how courts check executive actions, impacting millions and redefining citizenship rules. Tune in for a deep dive into this constitutional showdown, its implications for immigration policy, and the balance of judicial authority.
