Why did the judge block Trump’s order?

Coughenour did not detail his reasoning during Thursday’s hearing, but his assertion that the order is “blatantly unconstitutional,” as well as point-blank questioning of DOJ attorney Brett Shumate — and his lack of questions for Washington’s assistant attorney general, Lane Polozola — suggested he agreed with the states’ arguments. The states say it’s well-settled that the 14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship and that the president lacks authority to determine who should or should not be granted U.S. citizenship at birth. “I’ve been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented was as clear as this one is,” Coughenour told Shumate.
