Of the four liberal justices sitting on the Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg were the only judges to dissent.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a scathing dissent issued Wednesday after the Supreme Court approved President Donald Trump's request to allow his administration to enforce its new aggressive asylum rules.
"Once again the Executive Branch has issued a rule that seeks to upend longstanding practices regarding refugees who seek shelter from persecution," Sotomayor wrote in her."Although this Nation has long kept its doors open to refugees — and although the stakes for asylum seekers could not be higher — the Government implemented its rule without first providing the public notice and inviting the public input generally required by law.
The decision"sidesteps the ordinary judicial process to allow the Government to implement a rule that bypassed the ordinary rulemaking process," she added.
