President Donald Trump has filed petitions with the Supreme Court requesting rehearings of the Court’s birthright citizenship ruling and a $5M judgment awarded to E. Jean Carroll, and his lawyers have asked lower courts to pause payment while the petitions are considered.Legal scholars at Georgetown University Law Center, William & Mary Law School and Stanford Law School say that rehearings after full arguments are exceptionally rare, that the Court granted such relief decades ago, and that the odds of reversal are very low.The
Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision invalidating Mr. Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship and Justice
Brett Kavanaugh concurred in the outcome while saying federal immigration law, not the Fourteenth Amendment, barred the order.
