🗽   A SCOTUS Short-Lister Has Flip-Flopped to Embrace One of Trump's Worst Positions

Politics

Judge James Ho secured his spot on Donald Trump’s likely Supreme Court short list by staking out extreme, far-right positions that cleave to the MAGA movement’s goals. There’s really been only one glaring exception: Ho has long endorsed birthright citizenship, the constitutional guarantee that virtually everyone born on American soil automatically becomes an American citizen. The son of immigrants himself, Ho has written eloquently in support of this principle, refuting conservative arguments for its abolition. But Trump just won reelection on a promise to abolish birthright citizenship, and he seems unlikely to elevate a vocal foe of his own plan to the high court.
