From Scalia's dissent

"Though the Court resists the Bruner rule, it cannot cite a single case in the history of Anglo-American law (before today) in which a jurisdiction-stripping provision was denied immediate effect in pending cases, absent an explicit statutory reservation."

Totally dismissing a clear law of congress is the amazing part of the ruling. And then their criticisms of the president are couched as... upholding congress's authority!

Amusing that there would have been absolutely no conflict if Roberts had ruled on the crux of the case- the DTA act. Oh well, them's the breaks.
