Supreme Court justices signaled skepticism toward the legality of a directive to restrict birthright citizenship, a move that could upend the long-standing interpretation of a key constitutional provision.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh focused on how Congress has historically understood the 14th Amendment, highlighting its repeated use of the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” in immigration and nationality laws passed in 1940 and 1952. He noted that lawmakers chose to mirror the Constitution’s broader language rather than adopt narrower alternatives, reinforcing a longstanding interpretation of birthright citizenship.
