This case is about children born in the US to parents of foreign citizenship. It's to decide the application of the Fourteenth Amendment's citizenship clause, the "all person born in the United States....are citizens of the United States..." The only wiggle-room I see for SCOTUS in this case is if they invent some weird interpretation of the "subject to the jurisdiction" phrase. It'll have to be something really convoluted, and I don't expect Roberts and Conehead Barrett to sign on to it. But I don't put it past the nazi six to do it.........
