Sotomayor is reading from her dissent. You cannot hear it because, despite having the capacity to do so, the Supreme Court does not livestream opinion announcements.

Thomas concurs to question the constitutionality of the special counsel's appointment. Barrett concurs in part because she does not join a part of the court's opinion not allowing evidence of any official acts even to be admitted as evidence.

From Sotomayor's dissent:

That's that. Orders at 9:30a Tuesday.

And that’s quite enough though, isn’t it? 🥴

I mean, we knew where this was going, but how they got there is somehow even more dumb and corrupt.

Supreme Court conservative majority BAD

WOW! So glad she said this. Wonder if our next generation under fascism will ever get to read it?

Yeah, but Thomas questions the constitutionality of the constitution.
