"They both say that NBC requires both citizenship by location of birth AND both parents (or by the most liberal interpretations, at least the father!) being citizens of the country of birth."

Actually, they accepted the Amicus Curiae and did have a comment on Berg's Writ of Centiorari:

"BERG CASE ORDER: THE MOTION OF BILL ANDERSON FOR LEAVE TO FILE A BRIEF A AMICUS CURIAE IS GRANTED. THE PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CENTIORARI BEFORE JUDGEMENT IS DENIED."

Notice the words "before judgement"

SCOTUS placed the case back in the hands of the lower courts.
