Stephen Miller demanded on Fox News that the Supreme Court issue a 9-0 ruling striking down birthright citizenship, saying anything less would indicate a nonfunctioning democracy. The Court is currently considering whether children born on U.S. soil to non-citizen parents automatically receive citizenship — a constitutional right established by the 14th Amendment but now under challenge in the Trump administration's second term. Miller's framing of judicial disagreement as proof of institutional failure is a rhetorical move designed to delegitimize any non-unanimous decision, rather than a factual claim about how democracies function.
