MAGA Melts Down After Trump-Appointed Justice Argues Argues Against Ending Birthright Citizenship: 'Remove This Imposter'
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett triggered fierce backlash from MAGA loyalists after forcefully questioning the Trump administration's top lawyer and voicing skepticism over ending birthright citizenship during a heated Supreme Court argument.
Since taking office, President Donald Trump has pushed for an executive order to end birthright citizenship—a constitutional guarantee under the 14th Amendment that grants automatic U.S. citizenship to anyone born on American soil.
Legal challenges blocked the order from taking effect, and the case is now tied up in a broader legal battle over whether federal judges can issue nationwide injunctions to halt executive actions. While the court has not ruled directly on the constitutionality of birthright citizenship, Thursday's arguments could determine if Trump's policy is temporarily enforced, the Daily Beast reported.
During oral arguments, Barrett confronted Solicitor General Dean John Sauer, who was representing the Trump administration, over his dismissive response to Justice Elena Kagan's concerns. Barrett sharply asked whether Sauer truly believed there was "no way" for plaintiffs to quickly challenge the executive order, suggesting that class-action certification might expedite the process.

Her remarks signaled concern over restricting judicial oversight of potentially unconstitutional policies and put her at odds with both Trump's legal strategy and his MAGA base.
Barrett's comments, particularly her defense of Kagan and her questioning of the Trump administration's approach, drew immediate outrage online from Trump supporters. MAGA-aligned influencers labeled her a "disgrace and an embarrassment" as well as a "traitor."

Some went as far as to accuse Barrett of undermining conservative goals, asking the administration to "remove this imposter."
"REMOVE AMY CONEY BARRETT, she does not align with the mandate of the American people whose wishes and demands were very clear when they voted AMERICA FIRST," one user argued.
Amy Coney Barrett showed us who she is on Murthy v Missouri. The first major government censorship case before the court in a generation and she does not side in favor of the first amendment. Remove this imposter from the Supreme Court.
She does not belong.

Republicans Forced to Do Damage Control, Calm Down Lawmakers After Elon Musk Slams 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Supporters: Report
Leaders of the Republican Party are scrambling to settle other party members after billionaire Elon Musk launched a scathing criticism of the Trump-backed GOP spending bill. Speaker Mike Johnson, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are attempting to quell uncertainty amongst congressmen from their party caused by Musk's rebuke of the "one big, beautiful bill." Johnson attempted to reassure Republican lawmakers during a House Republican Conference which occurred behind closed doors on Wednesday, three sources who were present at the meeting told POLITICO. Furthermore, the Speaker of the House has been in contact with the Tesla CEO and has attempted to explain the reasoning behind the spending bill in an attempt to garner Musk's support. "I think he's flat wrong, and I've told him as much," Johnson said at a news conference after the meeting. Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters that he did not expect Musk's comments to sway Senate Republicans on Wednesday. "Obviously he has some influence, got a big following on social media," he said. "But at the end of the day this is a 51-vote exercise here in the Senate, and I think it's going to be the question for our members is going to be would you prefer the alternative. And the alternative isn't a good one." Thune also stated that he had been in contact with Musk within the past few days. "There are going to be a lot of people who share commentary about this, and we just got to make sure we're doing everything we can to get our arguments out there," Thune added. During an interview, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise stated that Musk's comments did not severely impact the party's ability to raise funds or garner support, further stating that the GOP is "continuing to see fundraising goals get exceeded." "The speaker, myself, our whole team continues to exceed fundraising goals, because people know what's at stake next year," Scalise added. "And President Trump's all in, by the way, too, helping us hold the House. ... He's been our best, most effective deliverer of support." Originally published on Latin Times

GOP Lawmaker Mocked for Insisting Autopen Use Could 'Get Rid of' Biden's Executive Orders: 'I Want Proof Trump Signed 1,500 Pardons'
U.S. Rep. James Comer (R-KY) arrives for a House Republican caucus meeting at the U.S. Capitol on November 19, 2024 in Washington, DC. Latin Times Republican Rep. James Comer is being widely mocked online after claiming Joe Biden's executive orders could be overturned in court, because they may have been signed with an autopen. During a recent Fox Business interview, Comer suggested the Trump administration could invalidate many of Biden's executive orders if they were "authorized by staff" and signed via autopen. "If these executive orders were just done and authorized by staff, and Joe Biden's signature was forged on the autopen, as some would believe," Comer said, "then I think the Trump administration is gonna have a pretty good standing in court to get rid of a lot of these executive orders." Comer: "If these executive orders were just done and authorized by staff, and Joe Biden's signature was forged on the autopen as some would believe, then I think the Trump administration is gonna have a pretty good standing in court to get rid of a lot of these executive orders." — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 4, 2025 The Kentucky congressman did not cite legal precedent to support the claim. Autopen signatures, mechanically reproduced versions of a president's real signature, have been used by multiple administrations, including Trump's, for routine authorizations and urgent orders. Federal law permits the use of autopen with the president's prior approval, and the method has long been considered legally binding. Nevertheless, Comer insisted in his interview that the use of autopen could raise "serious constitutional questions" about the legitimacy of Biden's executive actions. Comer's comments quickly backfired. On social media, users flooded platforms like X with memes and jokes, blasting Comer's theory as unserious and conspiratorial. I'm so tired of hearing about this. Does anyone actually think that trump signed over 1500 j6 pardons himself? There's no way. Not with the way he signs his name. His hand would fall off 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🙄 — abortion is healthcare 🌊💙 (@DebbiePatrizi) June 4, 2025 So if the President signs and authorizes electronically, as we have all done, you want disqualify the signature. But if Trump is signing in person, even though he hasn't read or have any idea what he is signing, as we saw last week, that's just fine and dandy. Right? — Laura Townsend ⚖️☮️🇺🇦🌻🇺🇸 (@goaloa) June 4, 2025 "I want video proof that trump personally signed 1,500 pardons," one user joked. Another quipped, "Has Comer proved anything, about anything, ever?" I want video proof that trump personally signed 1,500 pardons — Laura Di Bella 💙💜🧡 (@LauraDiBella19) June 4, 2025 Has Comer proved anything, about anything, ever??? — Artie Vandelay (@ArtieVandelay1) June 4, 2025 A third added: "Comer is now a synonym for waste of time." Comer is now a synonym for waste of time — melsthe1 (@melsthe11) June 4, 2025 Legal experts have dismissed Comer's comments, noting that autopen use has never been successfully challenged in court when authorized by a sitting president. For now, Comer's claims appear to have more viral value than legal weight. Originally published on Latin Times © Latin Times. All rights reserved. Do not reproduce without permission.
