The decision makes sense to me with one caveat. Who decides what questions on a citizenship application would not have influenced an immigration officials original decision? I can understand it for something simple like date of birth or eye color. However, what about a person lying about being a member of a drug gang like MS-13 or having fought for ISIS? I can see a bureaucrat deciding that all revocations will need to go to trial because of this decision.

I agree. Let the courts decide if the context of the fraudulent information provided during the immigration process serious enough to revoke citizenship. The act of lying shouldn't be automatic revocation. Unanimously the SCOTUS displayed common sense in this ruling.

So they put the decision in the hands of a Jury. I guess I don't have a problem with that, other than suddenly it's a big production, rather than a single agent making the choice.
