On June 30, 2026, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson publicly admonished fellow Justice Clarence Thomas for his dissent in the Court’s decision to uphold birthright citizenship. In a detailed 20-page concurring opinion, Jackson accused Thomas of applying a “narrow vision” of the 14th Amendment in opposing the six-justice majority ruling.

Jackson highlighted the contradiction in Thomas’s stance, noting that despite his longstanding endorsement of a “colorblind” Constitution, his dissent reflected a limited interpretation of the Amendment.

This exchange underscores ongoing debates within the Supreme Court regarding constitutional interpretation and citizenship rights.
