I know nothing matters but no, this did not happen. The closest thing they must be thinking of was use of fetal cell lines from 50 years ago, which is standard medical practice. Even the Vatican signed off on it from a moral perspective.

Donald Trump came one vote away from getting the Supreme Court to say that the 14th Amendment does not guarantee birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented and temporary immigrants, a view held only by fringe far-right nativists until VERY recently. This is shocking. I am stunned.

I am stunned that the constitutional question was so close. I thought it would be 6–3 or 7–2. It is profoundly disturbing that four justices would allow either the president or Congress to rewrite the plain text of the 14th Amendment. This is obviously a good outcome, but the margin is alarming.

The vote on the constitutional question in the birthright citizenship case is an absolute scandal slate.com/news-and-pol...
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled that the first sentence of the 14th Amendment means exactly what it says: Birthright citizenship is the nation’s fundamental law, and Donald Trump cannot repeal it via executive order. The vote was 5–4. This outcome is, of course, a relief. But the margin is a scandal. It is nothing short of stunning that Trump came one vote away from convincing the Supreme Court to repeal the bedrock of the Reconstruction Amendments based on a brazenly partisan contortion of their text and history. A view held only by fringe, far-right nativists until very recently has secured support from four of the nine members of the court: Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh. This is a shocking development that should upend all expectations that this Supreme Court can be trusted to apply the most basic constitutional guarantees when a Republican president seeks to nullify them. If a theory flatly rejected by all serious legal scholars and historians can come one vote away from success, no rights are safe. Everything is on the table.

For years, originalists have lectured us that they no longer look to "the Framers' intent," but to the "original public meaning" of the Constitution. Here, Kavanaugh throws all that out the window to lash the citizenship clause in his subjective guess as to what its Framers intended it to do.
First, significant illegal immigration into the United
States is a new circumstance that was largely unknown as
of 1868 and that the Framers of the Fourteenth
Amendment could not have fully anticipated. And the
Framers likely would not have anticipated (and presumably
would not have intended) the odd result of granting a
substantial birthright citizenship benefit to (i) those foreign
citizens who violate U. S. immigration law and illegally
enter or overstay and then have children in the United
States over (ii) those foreign citizens who follow U. S.
immigration law and have children in their home countries
while seeking to lawfully immigrate to the United States.
Nor presumably would they have wanted to grant
constitutional birthright citizenship to children of foreign
citizens unlawfully in the country while simultaneously
denying constitutional birthright citizenship to children of
tribal American Indians. So too, the issue of temporary
visitors who give birth in the United States presents a new
and different circumstance than in 1868 given the
significant changes in immigration laws and travel.

Breaking: E. Jean Carroll moved to the collect $5,779,783 from the bond Trump deposited in the court's registry, since that verdict reached the "end of the line" at SCOTUS. Trump's lawyers are still trying to delay, per the filing.
The Court should enforce the plain language of the existing Stipulation and Order and
direct immediate disbursement of funds held in the CRIS. Defendant Trump obtained a stay of
execution pending appeal only by explicitly agreeing that the funds placed in the Court’s account
would be disbursed upon the conditions set out in the Stipulation and Order. Those conditions
were satisfied when the Supreme Court denied his petition for certiorari. Nothing in the Stipulation
and Order, the Federal Rules, or the Supreme Court’s Rules permits him to disregard the parties’
agreement subsequently so ordered by Your Honor based on the fact that he is considering seeking
reconsideration of the denial of certiorari.2 Accordingly, the Court should direct the Clerk to
disburse to Carroll the value of the judgment including post-judgment interest, which amounts to
$5,779,783.00 in total as of the date of this filing.

BREAKING: Florida judge questions whether she has jurisdiction to hear Trump's case against the IRS, orders briefing on the question by May 20 and arguments to follow May 27. Judge Kathleen Williams: "[I]t is unclear to this Court whether the Parties are sufficiently adverse to each other ...."
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA CASE NO. 26-20609-CV-WILLIAMS
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
V.
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, et al.,
Defendants.
/
ORDER
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiffs' Consent Motion for a 90 Day Extension ("Motion") (DE 40). In the Motion, Plaintiffs ask the Court "to grant an extension for a period of ninety (90) days in all proceedings in this matter." (DE 40 at 1). The only scheduled event at issue is Defendants' response to the Complaint. For the reasons stated below, the Court will, sua sponte, stay Defendants' obligation to respond and set a briefing schedule to address the question of the Court's subject matter jurisdiction.In the instant case, Defendants have not yet filed any notices of appearance.
Nonetheless, the Parties have advised the Court that they are engaging in discussions to
resolve this matter. Moreover, although President Trump avers that he is bringing this lawsuit in his personal capacity, he is the sitting president and his named adversaries are entities whose decisions are subject to his direction.? Indeed, President Trump's own remarks about this matter acknowledge the unique dynamic of this litigation. 3 Accordingly,
it is unclear to this Court whether the Parties are sufficiently adverse to each other so as
to satisfy Article Ill's case or controversy requirement.III. CONCLUSION
The Court hoped to evaluate this issue after Defendants responded to the Complaint.
However, in light of Plaintiffs Motion, the Court will ask the Parties to address the question of subject matter jurisdiction before addressing the relief requested in the Motion.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that, by May 20, 2026, the Parties shall each file a memorandum of law that addresses the issue of whether a case and
controversy exists in this matter so as to establish the Court's jurisdiction. The Court SETS a hearing for 10:00 A.M. on May 27, 2026. The Parties should come prepared to discuss the issues identified above.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Miami, Florida, on this 24th day of April,
2026.
