"The court gives a green light to a law that will upend the longstanding federal-state balance of power and sow chaos," liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a dissenting opinion. Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson also objected to the decision.

The majority did not explain its reasoning.

One has to find humor in the federal government getting owned by the States but not putting up any real fight because the feds don't actually care if border control is mask-off cruel

Maybe one day the States will go too far for the feds' taste, but at that point they won't have the institutional muscle to enforce it. One step closer I guess
