In Scialabba v. Cuellar de Osorio, both Justices Kagan and, to a lesser extent, CJ Roberts use some pretty strong language to characterize Justice Sotomayor’s dissent.
From Kagan’s opinion: •The dissent responds to this fact only with a pair of non-sequiturs. Post, at 18–19 (opinion of SOTOMAYOR, J.). •but cf. post, at 14 (SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting) (wrongly stating that under that rule conversion occurs upon the agency’s re- ceipt of proof of the change). •It is, therefore, impossible to understand the dissent’s statement that conversion of such a petition to an appropriate category requires “ ‘substantive alteration’ to [the] petition.” See post, at 19, n. 8 (opinion of SOTOMAYOR, J.).

Scalia agreed with Kagan as to the result, but not her reasoning. On the other hand, Thomas joined Sotomayor's opinion. Buckeye Texan described this opinion as "cats and dogs living together."
Cats and dogs indeed. Round and round they go, where they’ll stop nobody knows.
Really? The two appointees of the Clown are in sharp disagreement?? I am stuned.
Rather unusual? Man, that is the weirdest lineup to say the least.
Sotomayor and Thomas on the same side??? Hmmm.
And a rare moment when Scalia and Thomas reach a different conclusion.
Wow.
Just like healthcare where it “used to be” difficult and “expensive”. And “everyone” agreed that it could be done better and nobody should be excluded under a system that was so complex and difficult to navigate.
So - free immigration for everyone!
That is what I had hoped I expressed, but I guess not.
What a shock this crypto-lesbo latina smurf doll would vote for her “la raza”. And this is the only time she has been called “doll” in her life
As confusing as “who’s on first ...”
That’s among the most ridiculous straw-man arguments I’ve ever read on FR. Congratulations or my condolences, whichever you prefer.
