The image you see above appeared in the hardcopy version of a Wall Street Journal article published on July 1, 2026. Depicted is an intern, who is running to deliver a Supreme Court ruling to members of the media on Tuesday, June 31st.
So, what was this all about? What was that "Hot News From The High Court"?
Well, if you click the next link, you'll find the online version of the article to which I am referring, which is titled as follows: "Supreme Court Rejects Trump’s Bid to Curtail Birthright Citizenship."
In other words (amazing though it may seem), the "Hot News" was that the Supreme Court of the United States has held, in an official decision, that the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution means exactly what it says. Wow! That is exciting! How unexpected!! The High Court has now officially proclaimed that the following language means exactly what the words in the Constitution say:
Fourteenth Amendment
Section 1All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside....
The current president of the United States has been claiming that what the Constitution says (see above) isn't actually what it means. The VP has been in agreement with him.
Let's hope that the same principle (words mean what they say) might be found to apply to other provisions of the Constitution, too. Like, who gets to declare war - for just one example!
