A divided US Supreme Court upheld the constitutional right of birthright citizenship, rejecting President Donald Trump’s planned restrictions and invalidating a central plank of his immigration agenda. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented. "National citizenship was not an independent concept but simply derivative of state citizenship. “Every citizen of a state,” it was often said, was “ipso facto a citizen of the United States.” In these contexts, too, national citizenship required domicile because state citizenship required domicile." Justice Thomas wrote. Elizabeth Wydra, President of the Constitutional Accountability Center joined Balance of Power to discuss. (Source: Bloomberg)
