I believe the law states that ANY lie on a federal form is grounds to lose citizenship, that simply hasn't been strictly enforced until now.

SCOTUS's job isn't to determine whether a law should be strictly enforced, it's job is to determine whether a law is constitutional or not.


Do we really want the Court making this subjective "okay this lie okay, this one is not"

People need to settle down.

While Roberts may be against your position on this, tough questioning in oral argument is not indicative that the Court is about to rewrite the law.

This is irresponsible reporting by Reuters.

No. No we most definitely do not want that.

Justice Roberts, I'm alarmed by your stance. It appears that you believe the rule of law should be ignored when it's convenient.

That's not how this works.
