The only surprise is that this was not a unanimous decision
Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, striking down Trump's order
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-birthright-citizenship-trump-decision/
Washington The Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down President Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, reaffirming the more than 100-year-old understanding that nearly all of those born in the United States are citizens.
In a divided decision in the case Trump v. Barbara, the Supreme Court found that Mr. Trump's policy is unlawful.
With its decision, the Supreme Court has now invalidated a second of Mr. Trump's signature initiatives from his second term, joining its ruling striking down many of his tariffs in February. The president signed his directive aiming to restrict birthright citizenship on his first day back in the White House as part of a sweeping crackdown on immigration.

Proving they are not originalists, as they claim. Theyre just partisan hacks.
Kavanaugh found a technical reason to vote with the majority

It's hard to believe it was a 5-4 decision!

Does this mean lawyers can now take t, nosferatu, et al to court for violating the rights of people they have thrown in their concentration camps and close those camps down?
