SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting
adjudicating this case. But if this Court wishes to permit the Government to flout the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Due Process Clause, it cannot avoid accountability for that lawlessness by tasking the lower courts with inventing a rationale. The Court's continued refusal to justify its extraordinary decisions in this case, even as it faults lower courts for failing properly to divine their import, is indefensible.

"In a democracy, power implies responsibility. The greater the power that defies law the less tolerant can this Court be of defiance. As the Nation's ultimate judicial tri-bunal, this Court, beyond any other organ of society, is the trustee of law and charged with the duty of securing obedience to it." Mine Workers, 330 U.S., at 312 (Frankfurter,
J., concurring in judgment). This Court continues to invert those principles. Today's order clarifies only one thing:
Other litigants must follow the rules, but the administration has the Supreme Court on speed dial. Respectfully, I dissent.

This bill is a declaration of war on American families. It's the largest transfer of wealth in history from poor and middle-class Americans to the ultrawealthy, a wishlist made by the most awful people in the world.

The facility is located at an isolated airfield about 45 miles (72 kilometers) west of downtown Miami and is surrounded by swamps filled with mosquitoes, pythons and alligators. Dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" by state officials, supporters say the reference to the notorious federal prison and the harshness of the conditions at the facility are meant to be a deterrent.
"There's really nowhere to go. If you're housed there, if you're detained there, there's no way in, no way out," Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in an interview with conservative media commentator Benny Johnson.

The so called "Alligator Alcatraz" is a concentration camp, call it what it is. Use your adult words. The goal is to isolate victims so they can freely abuse them. #3E #EndImpunity

If the GOP bill passes, a lot of folks who have grandma in a nursing home will need to take her back home. Do voters across the rural states this will impact the most understand that?

If the Senate's budget is enacted, millions will lose health insurance, millions will fall into poverty, and the national debt will increase by $3.3T.

All of this to provide a major tax cut mainly to the rich and big corporations.

There is no justification for this.

Letโ€™s be clear MILLIONS of disabled people are going to suffer and die because of Medicaid cuts. Chronically ill and disabled folks rely HEAVILY on medical care to survive and they also have the highest rates of poverty in the country. Cutting Medicaid is a death sentence for many.

Right now in Maryland, there's a mom whose son relies on lifesaving chemotherapy treatments. She told me that if he loses access to his health insurance, it would be a "death sentence."

If this bill passes, people will die.

Keep calling. Keep fighting. We must stop this bill.

I just forced a vote to try to strip out Republicans' defund Planned Parenthood provision from their Big Ugly bill.

Republicans voted NO. They voted to shutter some 200 health clinics and deny women basic health care like cancer screenings & birth control.
