Another of the dissenting Justices, Samuel Alito, described the ruling as a “serious mistake” that “confers citizenship on virtually anyone who happens to be born in this country”, including those who come to the US with the explicit purpose of giving birth to a child and then returning to their country of origin.

Alito deciding he should legislate from the bench. Shocking.

They’re using post reconstruction citizenship theory from stuff like the Chinese exclusion act to argue about what the reconstruction framers meant and saying it’s originalist. It’s fucking bonkers
