Your points are important but Sotomayor read her opinion and said and wrote this

The 14th Amendment plainly extends citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States,” she noted. “That means what it says.”
In failing to uphold that plain Constitutional pillar, she warned, “No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.”

That impacted me. She apparently feels the majority is creating a new legal regime.
