Trump: SCOTUS Slaughter Decision ‘More Than Made Up’ for ‘Disappointing’ Birthright Citizenship Ruling

 In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, President Donald Trump discussed recent Supreme Court rulings, particularly focusing on birthright citizenship and the Trump v. Slaughter case. He expressed disappointment with the decision regarding birthright citizenship but celebrated the ruling that allows him to fire independent agency employees at will.

● Birthright Citizenship Ruling: The Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship in a 5-4 decision, which Trump believes is "ridiculous" and costly. He argues that the U. S. is the only country with this policy.

● Trump v. Slaughter Case: The court's decision restored presidential power to dismiss independent agency employees without cause, reversing a long-standing limitation that was set nearly 100 years ago.

● Trump's Perspective: Trump feels the Slaughter decision is a major win overshadowing the disappointing birthright ruling. He emphasizes that regaining executive power was historically significant.

● Future Plans: Looking ahead, Trump indicated plans to address birthright citizenship through Congress, suggesting it no longer requires a constitutional amendment. He aims to pass the SAVE America Act, which includes voter identification requirements.

● Filibuster Discussion: Trump critiqued some Republican senators for opposing the termination of the filibuster, which he argues would enable the passage of various legislative goals.

● Firing the Parliamentarian: Trump called on Senate Republicans to dismiss the Senate parliamentarian, accusing her of biased rulings against the GOP.

Trump's remarks highlight his mixed feelings about recent Supreme Court decisions, showing a strong preference for regained presidential authority and a legislative agenda focused on stricter immigration and voting laws. He argues for significant changes within the Republican Senate to facilitate his political objectives.
