Sonia Sotomayor: “I have confused some statements that Senator Leahy made with this case, and I apologize.”

Today, the Court discards that democratic regime in favor of one that distorts the structure of Government to fit the majority’s theory of unitary, total executive control.

Because the Court today errs by reducing the burden, at least in the sports context, that the Constitution places on state actors when classifying based on sex, I respectfully dissent.

In the end, to the Court, the facts do not matter, even though the consequences are serious.

The benefits are immense.
