Editor’s note: This piece sat in drafts for over a month waiting on launch.
There are many worthwhile articles on the recent 6-3 Supreme Court ruling that upheld birthright citizenship, but this short piece by John Gruber of Daring Fireball cuts to the heart of the matter.
The idea that the plain meaning of the birthright citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment was even debatable would have been laughable just 15 years ago.
From a laughable idea to three justices voting to strike it down. Three.
If you’re still unsure about this ruling, read Gruber’s closing paragraph and then ask yourself, what do you have?
