To the editor: As I perceive it, Justice Clarence Thomas’ dissenting argument was that the 14th Modification was meant solely to use to kids of freed slaves, its true that means being discovered solely within the context of the instances by which it was written (“Birthright citizenship ought to by no means have been in query,” June 30). By that very same logic, does Thomas consider that authors of the 2nd Modification solely had single-shot muskets in thoughts — you understand, the true that means of the 2nd Modification solely being discovered within the context of the instances?

To the editor: Not being a lawyer, I’m able to perceive the clearly written 14th Modification granting U.S. citizenship to anybody born on our soil (“Supreme Court docket rejects Trump’s plan to restrict birthright citizenship,” June 30). For 3 Supreme Court docket justices to not absolutely perceive the primary sentence on this clearly written regulation is past perception.
