BREYER, J., dissenting 

officials whose actions are necessary to implement the stat-
ute’s  enforcement  powers.  There  may  be  other  not-very-
new procedural bottles that can also adequately hold what 
is, in essence, very old and very important legal wine: The 
ability to ask the Judiciary to protect an individual from the 
invasion of a constitutional right—an invasion that threat-
ens immediate and serious injury. 
  As THE CHIEF JUSTICE writes, this Court should not per-
mit the law to take effect without assuring the applicants
(and  the  respondents)  an  opportunity  first  and  fully  to
make (or to refute) these and other arguments supporting
the request for an injunction.

For  these  reasons,  and  for  the  reasons  stated  by  THE 
CHIEF JUSTICE, JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, and JUSTICE KAGAN, 
I dissent.
