Ted Johnson
Summary
The Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump's executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship, upholding the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee that anyone born in the U.S. is a citizen. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, joined by four other justices, affirming that citizenship is "the right to have rights" and that the Framers extended that promise to every free-born person in the land.
