I think you're probably right, or at the very least I'm with you in not holding my breath for the current court to undo birthright citizenship. However, I have a different view on the legal merits: namely I am really biased so it's easy for me to just ignore any evidence that the drafters of the 14th amendment intended it to create the legal reality of birthright citizenship as it is understood now, or that the language makes such a reading inescapable. But more importantly, the evidence of Roe v Wade demonstrates that the Supreme Court can just rule completely retarded nonsense in pursuit of some policy goal, and that is what I would like to have happen. The idea that the Congress might resolve the legal issues in question, especially by the passage of an amendment to the Constitution, is honestly orders of magnitude more absurd than the idea that the Supreme Court ought to just make what is good happen by writing down a bunch of legal words and then saying that whoever is the president can do whatever was the unconstitutional thing he wanted to do. The Senate would, in fact, be a crucial part of this plan, because they will rubber stamp the "conservative" hack justices who write these stupid opinions that allow us to stop being fucking retarded and disenfranchise, expropriate, and depopulate brown invaders.
