The Supreme Court issues a decision that allows President Trump to carry out firings, and Justice Sonia Sotomayor delivers a rare dissent from the bench. In her dissent, Sotomayor argues that the ruling departs from long-established political practice and that the court’s reasoning rests on a conclusion that the federal government acted in “open defiance of the Constitution.” She characterizes the court’s approach as undoing “centuries of political practice.” The reporting emphasizes that Sotomayor’s comments frame the decision as destabilizing, with her warning that “chaos will follow” from the court’s interpretation.
