  1. #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."

  9. #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.”
