The supreme court can’t make anyone a citizen you ignorant fark.

The Constitution Article 1 section 8 clause 4 gives Congress plenary power to institute a uniform rule of naturalization. The 14th Amendment reaffirms Congress plenary power in clause 5.

The power of naturalization ie who is to become a citizen of the U.S. is an ENUMERATED power GIVEN SOLEY TO CONGRESS BY THE CONSTITUTION

So when SCROTUS wants to pipe up and write law from the bench as they did in Wong Kim Ark. Congress should have impeached the dirty black-robed farks.

Now, pull till ya hear a pop.

Please try to keep up and stop the name calling.

No one (well at least I have not) has ever said that SCOTUS has made anyone a citizen. SCOTUS has ruled that the citizenship clause of the 14th amendment of the Constitution provides for birthright citizenship. Congress’s enumerated powers are limited by the amendments to the constitution. Those powers have to be viewed together. For example, Congress has the power to “...To establish Post Offices and post Roads”. Congress also has the power to “...To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers,...”

That being said Congress can not create a law that ALSO violates one of the amendments. For example should Congress pass a law that states that a person who is caught with the post in their possession may be sent to jail without trial - that law would be unconstitutional.

And by like measure, while Congress does have the enumerated power of naturalization, that power must also be exercised within the limits of the REST OF THE CONSTITUTION INCLUDING THE AMENDMENTS.

Thus ruling on how the 14th must be applied to citizenship is within the powers of SCOTUS. it is no different than applying the 1st amendment or the 5th amendment, etc to other acts of Congress.

Naturalization and birth are two different paths to citizenship. Congress has authority over the rules for naturalization, but the Constitution lays out the rules for citizenship by birth.
