Anna O. Law:  I Read Trump v Barbara So You Don’t Have To

On her blog, Professor Anna O. Law, author on a book on the history of U.S. citizenship, "evaluate[s] the accuracy of the historical claims made in Trump v Barbara. The dissents miss aspects of US migration and citizenship. The majority gets most of it right but their understanding of citizenship for different groups doesn’t explain the relational nature of that status historically—perhaps because they are focused on answering a narrow legal question. Or maybe because the justices don’t know the broader history of citizenship and migration."
