The conclusion of the dissent, written by Jackson and joined by Sotomayor and Kagan:
The documented real-world harms to these plaintiffs obviously outweigh the Government's unexplained (and inex-plicable) interest in immediate implementation of the Passport Policy. That incongruity is where equity comes in. Because granting the stay application will be "of little ad-vantage" to the Government, Di Giovanni, 296 U.S., at 71, while needlessly and significantly burdening the plaintiffs, equity cannot justify the Court's intervention. But, today, the Court refuses to answer equity's call. In my view, the Court's failure to acknowledge the basic norms of equity jurisdiction is more than merely regrettable. It is an abdication of the Court's duty to ensure that equitable standards apply equally to all litigants-to transgender people and the Government alike.

This entire "the Dems need to abandon identity and focus on economics!" discourse is being driven by rich assholes who would melt down at the slightest hint of higher taxes on the wealthy or more welfare for the poor. Look how they're treating Mamdani! It's cynical bullshit all the way down.
