There is no need.

You are assuming it means 2 US Citizen parents, when, in terms of English, it can apply to both a 1 citizen Parent and 2 citizen parents.

Furthermore, was that statement a RULING by the supreme court, or simply a statement by a Supreme Court Justice?

Only one of those has the weight of being a legally binding.
