A fourth justice, Brett Kavanaugh, found the Constitution wouldn&#8217;t block the president&#8217;s plan, though he found it did violate a federal law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A week after the decision came down, Trump said in a social media post he would &#8220;be asking for a Rehearing by the United States Supreme Court, IMMEDIATELY.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The White House and Justice Department did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The last time the Supreme Court granted any petition to change an opinion was in 1965, and the last time it reversed a decision was almost a decade earlier, in a case from 1956, said Aaron-Andrew Bruhl, a law professor at William &amp; Mary Law School.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The bar to grant a petition for rehearing is high. It would require at least one justice who ruled against Trump to change their mind and a majority of the court would have to agree, Bruhl said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The deadline passed Tuesday for the Trump administration to ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its rejection of the president&#8217;s birthright citizenship restrictions, with no new filing on the docket.
