Massachusetts AG picks her first fight: Birthright citizenship

Among the flurry of executive orders issued by the new president today is one that declares people born on American soil are no longer automatically US citizens, because he says so.

Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell vowed tonight to fight that re-interpretation of the 14th Amendment - although she said it won't be the only one she'll work against:

Birthright citizenship is a right spelled out in the Constitution. The President can’t take that away by executive order. We intend to make that clear.We will be reviewing this flood of executive orders and stand ready to defend the law and protect the people of Massachusetts.

a declaratory case might get standing and thus the issues wrong and fuck things up
