And in a scathing dissent, Alito used her own words to argue against the decision. Fellow conservative justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas joined the dissent."To say that this is not the most likely explanation of States' thought processes would be 'a delicately put understatement,'" Alito wrote.The court ruling was deemed a defeat for Trump and Republicans, who have argued that the method should not be used before the midterm elections in November, according to CNN.

The majority incorrectly removes this safeguard from federal law," Alito wrote.
