How the Supreme Court could wind up scrapping high-profile precedents in coming months | Constitutional Accountability Center
The Supreme Court’s landmark opinion on same-sex marriage isn’t the only high-profile precedent the justices will have an opportunity to tinker with – or entirely scrap – when the court reconvenes this fall. From a 1935 opinion that has complicated President Donald Trump’s effort to consolidate power to a 2000 decision that deals with prayer at high school football […]
Have the Trump administration’s actions put the US into a constitutional crisis? | Constitutional Accountability Center
Debates on the extent of government authority and the power of the United States Constitution have become commonplace in recent months.

State of New Jersey v. Trump, No. 25-1170 (1st Cir. 2025) :: Justia
The case involves a challenge by eighteen states and other plaintiffs against the enforcement of Executive Order No. 14,160, which limits the recognition of U.S. citizenship for certain individuals born in the United States. The Executive Order specifies that individuals born to mothers unlawfully present in the U.S. or temporarily present mothers, where the father is not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, will not be recognized as U.S. citizens. The plaintiffs argue that this order violates the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and 8 U.S.C. § 1401.

Constitutional Rights apply to everyone. exception in 14th amendment referring to privileges & immunities
𝍤 The one exception is in the 14th Amendment: it says “…any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws”.
There, it’s clearly drawing an intentional distinction, saying that only the “privileges” and “immunities” apply only to citizens, and that “due process” and “equal protection” apply to “any person”.
With the one exception of the privileges and immunities clause, everywhere that the Constitution says that anyone has a right, it says that every person does. Including in the very same sentence as the one with the exception for privileges (which are, by definition, not “rights”) and immunities.
