While I hate the ramifications of the ruling, after reading it, I agree with the majority's stance. While I wholeheartedly think that if those who wrote the 14th amendment foresaw the problem we're having today that they would have included children of illegals as exceptions, the fact is that they did not foresee that, and it's our job to make sure that gets included in a new amendment at some point.
But right now, we have bigger fish to fry, and SCOTUS paved the way for us to fry them, so let's not get too down about this. No reason to lose our peace or our hope over it. The amendment as it stands is insufficient for the times, so we must amend it accordingly and that's that. Oh well. We still have a million other things to be happy about. This is a bump in the road, nothing more.
