Historian Linda Kerber, and Boston Univ. legal scholar Kristin Collins, address the Supreme Court's recent split on the question of citizenship rights for non-marital children, based on the gender of the parent, in an op-ed today in Dissent:
Sex and Citizenship at the Court, Again. More of the history of the case,
Flores-Villar v. United States, is taken up in an earlier
Slate op-ed by Collins and Kerber. The two were principal authors of a
historical amicus brief filed in the case.
