Hi there, everyone. It's 4 o'clock in the East. Today, on the final day of the Supreme Court's term,

more than 100 years of court precedent survived by the Herevitz-Cinn-Cin-Cin, as the nation's highest court

upheld the principle that almost everyone who is born on American soil is considered an American citizen.

In doing so, the court overturned Donald Trump's executive order, which would have eliminated

birthright citizenship as we know it. The decision was 6'3, Chief Justice John Roberts and

justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, Amy Coney Barrett, and Katanji Brown Jackson. We're all in the

majority. Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred in part. In the majority opinion, Chief Justice Roberts

writes this, quote, we have repeatedly understood the precedent of the Supreme Court to guarantee

citizenship to all children born in the U.S. and subject to its power.

We see no reason to depart from that view today. In a concurring opinion, Justice Jackson puts a

sharper point on it by writing this, quote, the ultimate irony is that for all the talk about the

detestable Supreme Court decision that slaves were not

citizens, the government and the principal dissent, propose a return to its core tenet. Their

bottom line is that for certain people, being born on American soil will not suffice to confer citizenship.

It is that odious conclusion that the Constitution plainly rejects, as the

Court explains. The America that was reborn from the rubble of the Civil War simply does not

countenance that inequitable result. Thankfully, a majority of the Court remembered this today

and has dutifully preserved the most basic animating principle of our nation's

founding, that all human beings are created equal once more. Three of the conservatives on the Supreme

Court made no secret of their contempt for that decision today. In a dissent, Justice Samuel Alito

writes this, quote, this is one of the most important decisions in the history of the court,

and in my judgment, the court has made a serious mistake.
