Tommy Tuberville slams SCOTUS, says justices are ‘scared of their own shadows’
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville claimed Supreme Court justices are “scared of their own shadows” after they decided to protect birthright citizenship in a ruling Tuesday.
In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court ruled against President Donald Trump’s executive order and upheld the longstanding interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which says anyone born in the United States is a citizen, regardless of their parents’ citizenship or immigration status.
Trump’s executive order tried to say that children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens.
Tuberville and many other Republicans, including Alabama Sen. Katie Britt, posted a reaction on X.
“Today’s decision from 6 out-of-touch Supreme Court justices on birthright citizenship will cause chaos in our country for years to come,” he said.
“Ever since the Communist Left’s meltdown over Roe v Wade, some of our Justices have been scared of their own shadows. They should remember that their job is to go by our Constitution and to stand up for AMERICANS, not bow to the woke mob.”
