But since we have the dissent opinions, it's not tricky at all to see why they are dissenting.
Alito and Thomas straight up believe that the constitution does not provide birthright citizenship and the executive order is valid. Gorsuch mostly agrees but makes an exception if the parents plan to stay in the US. Kavanaugh agrees that birthright citizenship is not provided by the constitution, instead he argues its a federal statute that congress can overturn (but the president cannot)

- enoint 3mo agoThomas and Alito complained that they were being impeded from setting executive policy. Very easy to understand the argument that this court is too small.
- NetMageSCW 3mo agoIf it said “regardless of the citizenship status of the parents” they would still find a way to disagree.
- dgellow 3mo agoThe joke that Supreme Court judges are high priests interpreting the constitution as if it was holy scripture was in fact accurate description all along
