Description: The quote, "Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent," was written by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor in her dissenting opinion on September 8, 2025.

Sotomayor and her fellow liberal justices argue that the Supreme Court's September 2025 decision eroded this fundamental right by permitting federal agents to stop and detain individuals based on factors that amount to racial profiling.
