Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh Opens Door to Congressional Limits on Birthright Citizenship

What was said

"Kavanaugh said I don't think that birthright citizenship can be found in the 14th amendment. But he said even though the court has said that we could still see Congress put limits on it. Now that's a debatable point. I'm not confident that Roberts and Barrett will change their position but uh I people in Congress are now mush moving to criminalize birth tourism which should have been done decades ago."

Constitutional law expert Jonathan Turley reveals that Justice Kavanaugh's concurrence in a recent 5-4 Supreme Court decision suggests Congress could impose limits on birthright citizenship despite the Court's ruling. This comes as Congress moves to criminalize birth tourism, with Turley noting the razor-thin margin of the decision left room for potential reconsideration on narrower questions. Turley advocates for both a 28th Amendment debate and legislative action to address what he calls the U.S. being a "ship of fools" on birthright citizenship policy.
