What a missing citation tells us about the Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship decision (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In law, attribution is everything. Lawyers sprinkle written briefs with citations to statutes and constitutional provisions. Judges ground their decisions in prior cases addressing a similar legal issue. Making a claim without pointing to a source is akin to laying claim to originality. Doing that when a source is well-known and remarkably relevant is worse. All of this is why it’s of great significance for Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority in last summer’s decision holding th
Will the court consider due process rights for detained migrants? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Constitution’s due process clause famously limits the government’s power to detain people. Next month the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in a case about the clause’s relevance to long-time migrants. If it sides with the government, the court could allow immigration officials to detain thousands of long-term residents indefinitely, including lawful permanent residents (also known as green-card holders), convicted of a variety of crimes without allowing them to ask an immigration

In doing so, the court denied that the administration used racial language to describe such persons. The majority’s narrow characterization of what constitutes a racial description r
In birthright citizenship dissent, Justice Thomas stakes out an ideological claim of who counts as an American (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Supreme Court’s decision about President Donald Trump’s attempt to narrow access to birthright citizenship left no doubt that a majority of justices agree it’s illegal. But two justices, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, revealed that they also viewed the challenges to Trump’s executive order as about more than the text of the 14th Amendment. They viewed it as an ideological battle about who is “American.” The court’s long-awaited decision in Trump v. Barbara blocked the federal government f
