I don’t have confidence that the majority of justices have the best interests of this country in mind.

I have no confidence the American people will be disappointed. Birthright citizenship has gotten more acceptable rather than less.

The Supreme Court has two pseudo-conservatives who will almost certainly side with the liberals on the issue: John Roberts, who has shifted leftward with every year since his appointment, and Amy Conney-Barrett, who was never a conservative to begin with apart from being anti-abortion. Roberts has already stated his support for the liberal interpretation of the 14th amendment.

Not only will the Supreme Court not move on the issue, there won't even be much in the way of debate about what original intent means in this context - i.e. the 14th amendment was NOT enacted so that illegals could run across the border to give birth and create anchor babies.

It’s going to be 9-0 keeping birthright citizenship as is. In first grade, you are taught, if you are born in the United States, you are American. If you want it changed, a constitutional amendment is the direction to go.
