On birthright citizenship, the Supreme Court originalists split on history and Trump

In a surprising turn this year, the Supreme Court's conservative justices have shown a split over the issue of birthright citizenship, challenging their usual adherence to "originalism." This principle typically guides them to interpret the Constitution based on its original understanding. The division highlights the complexities of applying historical context to modern legal interpretations. With President Trump's influence still looming large, this split underscores the ongoing tension between adhering to historical precedents and adapting to contemporary societal norms. It also signals the potential for future legal battles around citizenship laws.
