Well this is a complicated one.

GORSUCH, J., announced the judgment of the Court, and delivered the opinion of the Court with respect to Parts I, II–A, III, and IV–B–1, in which GINSBURG, BREYER, SOTOMAYOR, and KAVANAUGH, JJ., joined, an opinion with respect to Parts II–B, IV–B–2, and V, in which GINSBURG, BREYER, and SOTOMAYOR, JJ., joined, and an opinion with respect to Part IV–A, in which GINSBURG and BREYER, JJ., joined. SOTOMAYOR, J., filed an opinion concurring as to all but Part IV–A. KAVANAUGH, J., filed an opinion concurring in part. THOMAS, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment. ALITO, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which ROBERTS, C. J., joined, and in which KAGAN, J., joined as to all but Part III–D.



Yes, what's III-D? I can't seem to find the Alito dissent in its entirety.

Here. Its towards the bottom.  https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/18-5924_n6io.pdf

Basically III-D was Alito explaining why he thought it was ok to overturn stare decisis in several recent cases over the last few years but that this case was different. As Kagan dissented in the cases cited by Alito (on stare decisis grounds) it makes sense that she wouldn't agree with that part.

Ah, many thanks. Hadn't realized the dissenting opinion was in the same document (makes sense).
