Well it may be wrong, but it is hardly a lie. The Majority of the court based their decision on the assumption that the United States law on citizenship was based on English common law. In that context, their statement is exactly correct. Even the English had to create a statute specifically granting Subject status to the children of Englishmen born in foreign countries.

Regarding the Supreme Court, I would argue that their base assumption is incorrect, but a difference of opinion and a difference in legal foundation hardly constituents a lie.
