Who gets born American?

Trump v. Barbara, decided June 30, 2026, five votes to four. Six opinions argue past each other across eight contested questions. This map lays each question out as a volley. Gold answers cyan, cyan answers gold. Hover a card to see the assumption underneath it, click it for the full exchange, and ask yourself which last words earned their silence.

Majority side Dissent side Kavanaugh middle

Color marks the side of the volley, not who is right.

A caution before you count silences. Thomas's dissent alone runs 91 slip pages against the majority's 26, so the dissent side collects more last words partly by writing more. A last word marks where the exchange stopped, not who won it.
