I don't know why they would want this EO to set case law, unless they have reason to think that Roberts and ACB will side with the liberals again.
There is probably a 75% chance Roberts and ACB side with the liberals on this question (to be elucidated further).
We really need to stop this anchor baby practice in the U.S. The 13th and 14th amendments were for normalizing the freed slaves not giving rights to anchor baby factories in California.

If Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch follow their purported preferred interpretation, ,they would also side with the ACLU.
This is a test of their hypocrisy and desire to politicize the court.

This was always going to court if he signed it.

The question is if certain justices wants to act political and hypocritical

Until an injunction is issued. This is likely not Constitutional. We would need an amendment, and that is not happening.

but in this case want to make the Constitution a living document and ignore those analyses.
The question is whether a foreign migrant who circumvents US Jurisdiction and US law actually falls under US jurisdiction? Dems who insist illegal immigrants have broken no law, obviously feel the migrants fall outside of normal jurisdiction.

We have countries who are not friendly using the open borders as a weapon against us. We have some citizens within our borders using immigration to destroy the nation from within.

The real object of the fourteenth amendment of the constitution, in qualifying the words 'all persons born in the United States' by the addition 'and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,' would appear to have been to exclude, by the fewest and fittest words (besides children of members of the Indian tribes, standing in a peculiar relation to the national government, unknown to the common law), the two classes of cases,—children born of alien enemies in hostile occupation, and children of diplomatic representatives of a foreign state,—both of which, as has already been shown, by the law of England and by our own law, from the time of the first settlement of the English colonies in America, had been recognized exceptions to the fundamental rule of citizenship by birth within the country.

this was the plan all along. have SCOTUS define "birthright citizenship".
preferred outcome:
"The 14th Amendment does not apply to immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally."

Nah. This is good. In order for the courts to decide definitively on this issue, someone has to sue. Nice to see the ACLU actually doing something for once.

Do you have a link of their purported opinions on this issue? I'm sure it's highly nuanced and whether or not the incoming decisions are hypocritical or not will be based on their current positions on the issue and how the issue is frames in the courts.
And is someone hypocritical if they change position based on new data?

Right. And it sets up the legal framework to pass better legislation that will withstand judicial scrutiny.

Funny but its a serious question. Has anyone been harmed by the EO yet? (rhetorical)
