33. It is you who is mistaken. There is absolutely no basis to suggest that Sotomayor, Jackson and Kagan have flipped.

The three liberal justices' position in favor of birthright citizenship and in opposition to Trump's position is quite clear.
Sotomayor joined by Jackson, Kagan in fiery birthright citizenship dissents
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5373118-supreme-court-liberal-dissent-birthright/

All of these birthright citicenship cases, including Trump v. Barbara, specifically sought reviwed of Trump's Executive Order 14,160 that attempts to redefine what "within the jurisdiction of the United States" means in the 14th Amendment, so as to deny citizenship to the US-born children of undocumented parents or parents in the US temporarily.

Further, as noted downthread, a writ of certiorari is granted if just four of the nine justices vote in favor of hearing the case. The vote is internal and generally not disclosed to the public.
