IF the US makes good on its threat to take away birthright citizenship, there may be a lot more stateless people in the future.

Part of due process is determining if you are are protected by the law and if people are robbed of due process then the constitution already constructively doesn't apply to citizens.
When a judge blocks a federal action, that's not the judge blocking the action, that's the judge ruling the law is stopping the action.
The constitution is very much "just a historic document with little present day meaning" right now.
This will be great for achieving the administration's goals, since it's already decided the constitution doesn't apply to non-citizens.
