Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Amy Coney Barrett are each telling the public to read the Supreme Court ‘s opinions on major cases for themselves, rather than rely on media coverage of the high court’s decisions.

The plea from the justices comes as both women are speaking publicly to promote books published on Tuesday. Each has authored sharp opinions in hotly contested cases in recent months. Sotomayor, who was appointed to the Supreme Court by former President Barack Obama in 2009, wrote a firm dissent to the high court’s Monday order lifting a district court’s restrictions on immigration raids in the Los Angeles area, accusing the majority’s ruling of being “unconscionably irreconcilable with our Nation’s constitutional guarantees.”
