Roberts said the framers who drafted the 14th Amendment extended a promise of citizenship to every free person in this land.
And Roberts wrote, we keep that promise today.
The chief was joined by the court's three liberals and Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
Brett Kavanaugh wrote separately to say he would have struck down the president's executive order based on a federal law.
Kavanaugh left open the possibility Congress could change it to put limits on babies born to people here illegally or on temporary visas.
And if there was a surprise, it was that we had so many dissents on this birthright issue, which has been well understood for more than 150 years.
Justice Clarence Thomas filed a dissent of 91 pages, what experts tell me is one of his longest dissents.
He says the court majority misunderstood the 14th Amendment.
He wanted to add a new requirement that parents be domiciled in the U.S.
Injustice Sam Alito wrote to say he worries about birth tourism, the idea that wealthy people from overseas will come to have children here on American soil.
President Trump echoed that view in a post on social media.
He actually congratulated China and its leader for what he called a
massive birthright win.
Remember, Trump took the rare step of going to the Supreme Court to hear arguments in this case, a sign of how important it was to him.
But the justices never acknowledged his presence, and it may have backfired.
The court says states can ban transgender girls and women from high school and college sports programs.
They said those bans in about half the states do not violate the Constitution or a federal law that bars discrimination by schools that get federal funding.
And for campaign finance, the court overturned a post-Watergate law that tried to limit coordination between political parties and candidates.
This case emerged during the Senate run of J.D.
Vance, who's now the vice president.
