Supreme Court of the United States

Horne v. Flores — Breyer, J., Dissenting

June 25, 2009557 U.S. 433

Summary

Justice Breyer dissents, arguing the majority misapplies Rule 60(b)(5) standards and incorrectly criticizes the lower courts for focusing on funding resources. He contends the lower courts fairly considered changed circumstances and that the record supports their refusal to dissolve the judgment. He warns the decision hinders enforcement of federal educational standards.
