NEWS
A
decision was handed down in the US Supreme Court
in the case in the matter Ruben Flores-Villar
in which Professor Kim Rubenstein was one of
five academics named as amicus in a Brief amici
curiae of "Scholars on Statelessness"
filed on June 24 2010.
The
case was argued in the US Supreme Court on the
morning of November 10, 2010
The
issue in the case was whether the US Supreme
Court’s decision in Nguyen v. Immigration
and Naturalization Service (2001) permits gender
discrimination (regarding the passing on of
citizenship to children) that has no biological
basis.
By
a vote of four to four (because Justice Kagan
was recused), the Court allowed the lower court’s
decision to stand; that decision rejected the
argument that a federal law which establishes
different standards for children born out of
wedlock outside of the United States to obtain
U.S. citizenship, depending on whether the child’s
mother or father was a U.S. citizen, is unconstitutional.
