| Ginsburg dissented from the Court's per curiam granting of certiorari and reversal of the Ninth Circuit's judgment (its third in the course of the litigation), believing the Court erred in reviewing "a notably fact-bound case" because it was "bent on rebuking the Ninth Circuit for what it conceives to be defiance of our prior remands...I would not ignore Smith’s plight and choose her case as a fit opportunity to teach the Ninth Circuit a lesson." | |||||||||||||||
