But her voice resonated nonetheless, in an unusually large number of concurring and dissenting opinions, more than 20 in all,” the New York Times reports.

“Several of them warned that the court was taking lawless shortcuts, placing a judicial thumb on the scale in favor of President Trump and putting American democracy in peril. She called the majority’s opinion in the blockbuster case involving birthright citizenship, issued on the final day of the term, ‘an existential threat to the rule of law.'”
