It's astonishing that this vote was not 9-0. But here we are. At least birthright citizenship stands for the moment.

Jody, if by "Alito's replacement" you are referring to NPR's announcement that he was retiring-- he's not. Nina Totenberg messed up. Alito isn't going anywhere (for good or ill).

Agreed! And this one wasn’t even unanimous.

We can only hope Alito’s replacement isn’t worse.
