#Sotomayor: 'Facts do not matter' to Supreme Court after it upholds #TransAthleteBan
Story by Sebastian Murdock
June 30, 2026"Supreme Court Justice #SoniaSotomayor gave a blistering dissent after the #conservative-majority court ruled Tuesday to uphold a ban on #TransgenderAthletes playing on female school sports teams.
"Justice #BrettKavanaugh wrote the ruling that upheld that Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause allows bans on transgender girls’ and women’s participation in female school sports to stand.
"All three liberal justices ― Sotomayor, #ElanaKagan and #KetanjiBrownJackson — dissented in part. While they dissented from the majority’s finding on the Equal Protection Clause, they agreed with the court’s conservatives on #TitleIX.
"In her dissent, Sotomayor discussed the 'immense' benefits of playing sports.
“ 'The majority’s opinion ends by reciting the many wonderful ways in which playing sports can be valuable to young people,' Sotomayor said from the bench. 'It can help build resilience, tenacity, leadership, and discipline. It can lead to life-long friendships, community, and a sense of belonging. It can bring joy and the thrill of victory, along with all the lessons one learns from experiencing defeat. The benefits are immense.'
"With Tuesday’s ruling, trans student athletes will now be excluded even when the facts show they do not have an '
'inherent athletic advantage,' she said."#USPol #SCOTUSIsCompromised #TransRightsAreHumanRights #ProtectTransYouth #GBLTQRights

#SCOTUS says Alito’s snark to #Sotomayor was a ‘misunderstanding’
The statement came a day after a tense exchange between the 2 when Sotomayor, the court’s senior liberal, publicly read a dissent in a case involving a #Trump policy of turning #asylum seekers away at the border.
#Alito, a conservative who was supposed to summarize the next opinion, instead said, “There’s much that I would have added to my bench statement had I known there would be a dissent read.”

“Time & again, this Court has said that federal courts should not interfere with state-court litigation,” #Sotomayor wrote. “Time & again, this Court has said that federal courts should not meddle with state election laws ahead of an election. Today, the Court says: except for this one, except for this one, & except for this one.”

In her dissenting opinion, which was joined by Justices #KetanjiBrownJackson & Elena #Kagan, Justice Sonia #Sotomayor blasted the court’s conservative majority for using one set of rules to uphold #redistricting maps that benefit #white voters & #Republicans in states like #Texas while using a completely different set of rules to strike down maps that benefit racial “minorities” & #Democrats in places like #NewYork.

Justice #ClarenceThomas, writing for the 5 conservative justices, said the federal #law that generally shields the #PostalService from lawsuits over missing, lost & undelivered #mail includes “the intentional nondelivery of mail.”
In dissent, Justice Sonia #Sotomayor wrote that while the protection against lawsuits is broad, it does not extend to situations when the decision not to deliver mail “was driven by #malicious reasons.” Justice Neil #Gorsuch joined his 3 liberal colleagues in dissent.

Sotomayor alludes to Musk’s Trump administration job when discussing corruption Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor seemingly alluded to Tesla CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump...

#Sotomayor added, “You’re asking us to destroy the structure of government” & “to take away from #Congress its ability” to decide the “government is better structured with some agencies that are #independent.”

Justice Sonia #Sotomayor says #SCOTUS should be wary of overturning a 90-year-old precedent that established the very structure of the modern #FederalGovernment.
Sotomayor appears sharply skeptical of the #Trump admin’s argument that the president has the #power to fire the leaders of #independent agencies. “You’re asking us to overturn a case that has been around for over 100, nearly 100 years. Correct?”

#Sotomayor also mentioned the additional 10% tariff #Trump slapped on Canada for airing an advertisement he didn’t like during the World Series.
These clearly don’t fall under the admin’s claim of a #trade “emergency”.

At one point, #Sotomayor listed some of the #tariffs #Trump had imposed, & the wide ranging reasons he had done so — pointing to examples like #Brazil. That country is facing steep duties as Trump looks to protect his political ally, #Bolsonaro, from prosecution.
She concluded with a rhetorical question: “The point is, those may be good policies, but does the statute…[give]…without limit the power to the president to impose this kind of tax—does it require more than the word ‘regulate’?”
-
#Sotomayor: “We’re forgetting here is a
very fundamental point, which is the #Constitution is structured so that if I’m going to be asked to pay for something as a citizen, that it’s through a bill that is generated through #Congress, & the president has the power to veto it or not, but I’m not going to be taxed unless both houses, the executive & the legislature, have made that choice, correct?”#SCOTUS #law #tariffs #PartisanCourt #ActivistCourt #AbuseOfPower #Trump #economy
-
An emerging theme, from the conservative justices, is that the president’s concededly broad power to shut down #trade generally may include the lesser power to impose #tariffs. That echoes the admin’s position.
Justice #Sotomayor jumped into the questioning & refocused the case back on a primary argument against the tariff programs, that the #Constitution gives #Congress, NOT the president, the #power to #tax.

Sauer provoked an objection from Justice Sonia #Sotomayor after arguing that #Trump’s #tariffs were not designed to raise revenue for the federal government.
Trump has repeatedly boasted about how much money his import taxes are brining into the Treasury.
“You want to say tariffs are not taxes, but they are,” Sotomayor said.
#SCOTUS #law #PartisanCourt #ActivistCourt #AbuseOfPower #economy
-
“The fact that they raise revenue is only incidental,” Sauer says of the tariffs. I’m not sure Trump would agree: #Trump has often emphasized the vast amounts of revenue being raised by his #tariffs & their ability to offset #tax cuts.
Justice #Sotomayor is also acknowledging an argument we’ve heard frequently in months of lower court arguments — that the economic emergency law that Trump is using to impose tariffs does not explicitly contain the word tariff. -
Justice #Kagan says #Congress, not the president, had the power to #tax & regulate foreign commerce.
Justice #Sotomayor is pressing the government on the fact that #tariffs are a form of #taxation, which rests in the hands of lawmakers to enact. “It’s a congressional power, not a presidential power, to tax,” she said.
Sauer argues that what is at issue in this case is not the “power to tax,” an authority given to Congress, but the ability to regulate foreign powers.

Justice #Sotomayor is pressing #Louisiana’s lawyer about the state’s change in position from the first iteration of the case. The state previously told the court that lawmakers drew congressional boundaries primarily with #politics in mind, not #race. The map protected high-profile lawmakers, including Speaker #MikeJohnson, a Republican whose district is in the state.

Of the case’s 6 #white plaintiffs, #Sotomayor said that “no one’s stopping them from participating in the voting process,” adding that “the state is stopping #Black voters from doing that in many districts, because it’s packing them into areas that whites overwhelm them.”
Beginning his remarks, the #Louisiana solicitor general opened with the suppositions of what he called a “stereotyping system” that assumes one #Black voter would vote like another.
-
“The #Constitution does not tolerate this system of of government-mandated racial balancing,” Aguiñaga said. “I respectfully but firmly resist the premise that this comes to the court on a finding of specific discrimination by the state.”
Questioning Aguiñaga about the role of race in #redistricting, #Sotomayor says it’s always a factor.

Asked by Justice #Sotomayor to delineate differences between the current case & a 2023 decision that dealt with affirmative action, Nelson argued that the prior case “involved the diversity rationale involving an admissions process with a university, not a statute.”
In 2023, #SCOTUS struck down #AffirmativeAction in college admissions, declaring race cannot be a factor & forcing institutions of higher education to look for new ways to achieve diverse student bodies.
