Summary
Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor openly sparred during Supreme Court arguments Thursday in an unusual public exchange over how an immigration case should be resolved.
Alito had the final word in the courtroom clash, underscoring the sharp divide between the conservative and liberal justices on the case's outcome.
The exchange stood out because Supreme Court disagreements are usually expressed through questions and later written opinions rather than direct confrontation from the bench.
