## Resource

The Supreme Court just ruled that most people born in the U.S. are citizens—even if their parents are visitors—sparking outrage from both sides. Chief Justice Roberts led the opinion, but Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s vote drew fire, with conservatives calling her a traitor for siding with the Court’s decision. Yet this moment underscores the core purpose of the judiciary: independence from politics. Judges are meant to interpret the law impartially, not bend to public opinion or political loyalty. Barrett’s consistent adherence to legal principles, even when it’s unpopular, is exactly what the Founders envisioned—and it’s a sign of a healthy, functioning court.
