It's a low hanging fruit. The court should not have taken the case. Maybe they'll do a 6-3

JUSTICE KAVANAUGH: That's that --
then last question, though, why would we
address the constitutional issue -- this is the
last one -- why would we address the
constitutional issue given your argument on the
statutory -- our usual practice, as you're well
aware, of course, is to resolve things on
statutory grounds and -- and not to do a
constitutional ground.
MS. WANG: Sure. You know, I think we
obviously have these two paths to a win here.
We're happy to win on either or both of them.
I do think it would be prudent for the
Court to reaffirm its decision in Wong Kim Ark
where it's a landmark decision about the
definition of national citizenship in this
country. I just think it would be prudent for
the Court to go ahead and reaffirm that. But,
of course, we're happy to take a win on any
ground.
