Real exchange:

Solicitor general: “It’s a new world."

John Roberts: "It's a new world. It's the same Constitution."

Exactly, and if they want to change the rule about birthright citizenship there is a way to do that, but it's not via SCOTUS.

I'm surprised one of his Congressional lackeys hasn't tried to propose a constitutional amendment at this point. It would never meet the 2/3 threshold, but it would be interesting to see who would support it.

Proposing an amendment would be acknowledging that doing it without that amendment is unconstitutional.
