The section of the law which Scotus upheld was removed by Congress, so I’m sure it would be different the next time around.

In addition to the dissent, the Scotus had to overrule a lower court that had found stripping of citizenship to be unconstitutional....but that’s why they’re lower courts. :>)

Yep. According to an attorney friend, Rogers v. Bellei is no longer considered “case law.” I refer to it though because both the majority and dissent make good points and it provides good insight into modern judicial mindset (i.e. during our lifetime) toward statutory citizenship and Congress’ power to establish a uniform blah, blah, blah.
