Sonia Sotomayor actually said...
The court should have put an end to this madness months ago before the ban first went into effect. It failed to do so then. It fails again today. The court just betrays not only the citizens of Texas but also our constitutional system of government. The court effectively invites other states to refine Texas' model for nullifying federal rights. This is a brazen challenge to our federal structure. It echoes the philosophy of John C. Calhoun, a virulent defender of the slave holding south who insisted the states had the right to veto or nullify any federal law which they disagreed.
Context
