Clarence Thomas Goes Scorches Earth On Birthright Decision, Says It ‘Devalues American Citizenship’

Justice Clarence Thomas issued a sharp dissent following a 5-4 Supreme Court ruling that overturned President Donald Trump's birthright citizenship order. Thomas argued that the majority opinion relies on an alternative history of the 14th Amendment and effectively devalues American citizenship. He expressed significant doubt regarding whether the court's decision would stand the test of time, criticizing the legal reasoning used to maintain that children born in the United States are granted citizenship.
