President Donald Trump met his first policy failure on Thursday, when a federal judge in Seattle swiftly blocked the new administration’s attempt to unilaterally unravel the 14th Amendment and eradicate birthright citizenship.
U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour said in the court that the executive order was “blatantly unconstitutional,” according to The New York Times.
Coughenour’s order issued a 14-day temporary restraining order and said the executive order presented “harms” that “are immediate, ongoing, and significant, and cannot be remedied in the ordinary course of litigation.”
