This document presents a dissenting opinion from Justice Sotomayor, joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson, regarding the Supreme Court's decision to grant a stay in the case of Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, et al. v. New York, et al.The core of the dissent is a strong objection to the Executive Branch's unilateral efforts to dismantle the Department of Education through actions like mass terminations of staff and a subsequent Executive Order. Justice Sotomayor argues that only Congress has the authority to abolish a Cabinet-level agency and that the Executive's actions violate the separation of powers and the Take Care Clause of the Constitution. The opinion highlights the critical functions the Department of Education performs, such as administering student aid and enforcing civil rights laws, and details the harms already experienced or anticipated by states and educational institutions due to the Department's reduction in force, concluding that the majority's decision is an unjustified intervention that rewards executive overreach.
