Sonia Sotomayor: “Kelo is now a precedent of the Court. I must follow it.”

Congress created the Department, and only Congress can abolish it.

It also corrodes the rule of law by rewarding Alabama’s gamesmanship and outright defiance of court orders.

Down the other lies a chaotic election, held under a never-before-used congressional map that intentionally discriminates against Black Alabamians.

After today, it is hard to call Alabama’s cynical gambit anything other than a success, and the Court’s rewarding of Alabama’s behavior anything other than a blow to the rule of law.
