McMahon v. New York

Summary

Justice Sotomayor dissents from the Court’s order granting a stay of the district court’s preliminary injunction against the mass termination of Department of Education employees. She argues that the President lacks authority to abolish a Cabinet‑level agency and that the Secretary’s actions violate the Take Care Clause, the Administrative Procedure Act, and statutory limits. Accordingly, she contends the stay improperly empowers the Executive to repeal statutes.
