Slate legal journalist Mark Joseph Stern posted Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor's dissent in the decision to Bluesky, and noted that none of the Court's six conservative appointees offered any explanation for their ruling, which overturned a previous decision to block the Education Department's elimination via executive order by a lower court judge earlier this year.
