and that, sir, is why the issue was meticulously addressed in the Constitution. (descendants of persons, who were at the time of the adoption of the Constitution recognised as citizens in the several States, [and who] became also citizens of this new political body, the United States of America, and (2) those who, having been born outside the dominions of the United States, had migrated thereto and been naturalized therein.)
To these hack judges, the Constitution is unconstitutional.
Both Zen Master and Robert Barnes have said from the get-go that this would end with the Court upholding BC. The counter argument is really complex, goes back to well before the Constitution, and involves little-understood and less cited English law.

Ninth circus, it’s to be expected.
I’m glad I’m not a lawyer who has to read that.
I'm glad that I am not one of the apparently endless supply of fools who claim to know what was made clear in the debates in Congress, having never bothered to read what was said in the debate in congress.
