Birthright citizenship: a response to Pete Patterson

A recent post on SCOTUSblog has prompted a response from brothers Akhil and Vikram Amar. The brothers, who write a recurring series called Brothers in Law, are addressing what they see as confusions and misstatements in the original post by attorney Pete Patterson. The post in question discusses birthright citizenship, specifically the 14th amendment. The Amar brothers aim to provide a corrective to Patterson's arguments, which they believe are flawed. Further details on the response and the original post are available on SCOTUSblog, along with additional content from the Amar brothers, including a podcast and columns on other websites.
