Knowing all along that this was headed to SCOTUS, having the 9th Circus disagree is the best possible outcome.
This whole deal over birthright citizens was wrong. The stinking amendment was because freed slaves were not being granted citizenship. The amendment allowed that. The supreme court ruling decades ago on this was wrong. It can be corrected now if the conservatives in the court get off their collective butts (I’M not worried about Justice Thomas, that guy is a rock) and stick together. Roberts has to man up. Yeah, I know that that means, he ain’t no man.
Do not be surprised if this does not languish in the courts for 4 years before ever having a shot at getting to the Supreme Court.
