Alito invokes Scalia analogy in birthright citizenship case over illegal immigration

Justice Samuel Alito invoked an analogy from the late Justice Antonin Scalia on Wednesday as the Supreme Court weighed whether birthright citizenship extended to children of illegal immigrants.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was treated for dehydration at a hospital after a previously undisclosed March 20 incident in Philadelphia, sources told Fox News. 

He was not admitted and returned home the same night without complications.

Alito, 76, attended a Federalist Society dinner that evening and reported feeling lightheaded, prompting his security detail to recommend a precautionary hospital visit. Sources said the justice has had no issues since.
