Remember, at oral argument, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump appointee, raised a question about whether it would be really a complete mess to try to figure out how to give money back that had already been collected.
So
We're going to have to wait and see how narrowly the court rules here, but the administration could have other options, even if the court majority rules out the use of this particular law from the 1970s.
First off, let's talk about Trump versus Cook.
Cook is Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve Board, and President Trump wants to fire her.
He basically says that she may have committed mortgage fraud earlier before she got appointed to this board.
Lisa Cook herself has said that allegation is baseless and she has not been charged with any wrongdoing.
Members of the Fed are appointed for 14-year terms and they're appointed that way to try to insulate them from political pressure.
The law that created this board basically allows the president to remove people for cause.
The question is whether there is good cause for Trump to remove Lisa Cook.
So far, lower courts, the district court and the federal appeals court, have said no, and they've kept her in place on the job.
But Trump's envoy to the Supreme Court Solicitor General, John Sauer, basically is arguing that courts cannot second guess a president's decision about what cause might mean.
Well, that's in part because the Federal Reserve is so important to monetary policy and to his continued success.
And, you know, that would be an earthquake for federal law.
After the Civil War, the Constitution was amended to make clear in the 14th Amendment that all persons born or naturalized in the U.S.
and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the U.S.,
And since then, for over 100 years, the understanding is that, yes, if you're born here on American soil, you are an American citizen.
President Trump and his administration are arguing that part of the 14th Amendment only applies to newly freed slaves and their children, not the children of migrants.
That would really upend democracy.
most law professors' understanding of the 14th Amendment and could be a totally revolutionary view of immigration law and the Constitution.
