德州诉宾州案

反对的大法官意见

Justice Alito, joined by Justice Thomas, disagreed with the ruling denying leave to file a bill of complaint, but did not otherwise find for the plaintiffs. He wrote that the Court is duty-bound to hear the case, referencing Thomas's dissent in Arizona v. California, 589 U. S. ___ (Feb. 24, 2020):

In my view, we do not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint in a case that falls within our original jurisdiction ... I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue.^[11]

再举一个州里的，密州Costantino v. Detroit案

办案法官VIVIANO写了长长的反对意见。见 court order

精英都有疑问，老百姓怎么就不能有了? 我就是赞同少数派的意见，怎么就是十恶不赦了？民主的原则是遵从多数，但是多数真应该好好看看少数的意见，看看有什么可以改进的地方，而不是我赢了，完了，你们都闭嘴。因为下次少数也可能变成多数。
