Justice Sotomayor Issues Strong Dissent in Supreme Court Visa Case

Sotomayor warns of broader implications for marriage rights, referencing the Dobbs decision.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against a U.S. citizen's right to have their noncitizen spouse admitted to the country.
Justice Sotomayor's dissent connected the ruling to potential threats to marriage rights, including same-sex marriage.
The dissent, joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson, criticized the majority for undermining established marriage rights.
Justice Barrett's majority opinion emphasized the decision's narrow focus on immigration law.
Upcoming Supreme Court decisions will address significant issues, including abortion access and presidential immunity.
