The anger just oozes from every line. I note that even Justice Ginsberg refused to endorse the fourth part of that dissent, and she and Jusice Kagan wrote their own. Which is slightly cooler than Sotomayer's, although one doesn't have to guess how they feel about it.

Did you catch that Kagan and Ginsberg dissented "respectfully," whereas Sotomayer just dissented? The devil's in the details, methinks.

As for me, I agree with Sotomayer 100%, in all four parts.
