Sonia Sotomayor said...

The Court’s decision is nothing less than an open invitation for the Government to bypass the Constitution.

This is not the first time the Court closes its eyes to noncompliance, nor, I fear, will it be the last.

The Government’s conduct in this litigation poses an extraordinary threat to the rule of law.

The ruling ushered in a 'new reality' that casts aside long-standing precedent.
