President Donald Trump said Wednesday he would ask the US Supreme Court to rehear a case challenging birthright citizenship, after its “insane” ruling rejecting his efforts to restrict the long-standing constitutional provision.

Petitions for a rehearing must be filed within 25 days of a decision and are very rarely granted.

“The Supreme Court’s ruling is wrong. I will be asking for a Rehearing by the United States Supreme Court, IMMEDIATELY,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform as he flew back from a NATO summit in Turkey.

“This miscarriage of justice will destroy America if they don't change their absolutely insane decision.”
