Justice Sonia Sotomayor - Liberal against ICE

Sotomayor targets Kavanaugh's background in public broadside over ICE raid ruling

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor used a public appearance at a University of Kansas School of Law event on Tuesday to single out colleague Brett Kavanaugh, claiming his upbringing as the son of professionals left him unable to understand the real-world consequences of immigration enforcement stops.

The remarks, personal, pointed, and delivered outside the courtroom, centered on Kavanaugh's concurring opinion last September in a case that allowed the Trump administration to continue ICE raids in the Los Angeles area, as the New York Post reported.

Sotomayor did not name Kavanaugh directly in her public remarks. But she left little doubt about her target.

Sotomayor told the Kansas audience that a colleague had characterized immigration stops as merely temporary. She then pivoted to a personal critique of Kavanaugh's family background, arguing it disqualified him from understanding the stakes for hourly workers detained by ICE agents.

"This is from a man whose parents were professionals. And probably doesn't really know any person who works by the hour."

The episode raises a question that has nothing to do with immigration law: When a sitting justice uses a public stage to attack a colleague's personal background as the basis for his legal reasoning, what does that say about the state of the Court?

Justice Sotomayor complains about Trump's Emergency Appeals

Sotomayor calls Trump administration's emergency Supreme Court appeals 'unprecedented'

but the Court keeps siding with the White House

Justice Sonia Sotomayor used a speech at the University of Alabama School of Law on Thursday to criticize the Trump administration's use of the Supreme Court's emergency docket, calling the volume of appeals "unprecedented in the court's history."

What she did not dwell on is the obvious corollary: the Court's conservative majority has agreed with the administration in case after case, repeatedly lifting lower-court orders that sought to block the president's agenda.

The remarks, reported by The Hill, amount to the latest public airing of frustration from one of the Court's three liberal justices over a process that has consistently produced results she opposes.

Since President Trump retook the White House, the administration has filed 34 emergency applications, appeals that ask the justices to intervene quickly in cases still working through lower courts. The Supreme Court has sided with the administration in a vast majority of those cases.

That track record is the real story Sotomayor's complaint obscures.

The administration has said the appeals are a direct response to federal district judges overstepping their authority to halt the president's policies. That framing matters. When a single district judge issues a nationwide injunction freezing an executive action, the administration's only fast remedy is to ask the Supreme Court to step in.

Justice Sotomayor to remain right where she is!

Justice Sonia Sotomayor Confirms Decision To Remain On Supreme Court

In a candid affirmation, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has declared her intentions to remain on the bench, rejecting the notion of retiring prematurely.

The Post Millenial reported that Sotomayor recently celebrated her 70th birthday, signaling a milestone that prompts reflection on tenure and legacy within judicial circuits. Her choice underscores a desire to uphold her judicial responsibilities despite the changing dynamics of the court.

Historically, the court has seen shifts that occur with the passing or retirement of justices. Sotomayor's stance recalls the tenure of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who served until her death at 87, at a time when Democrats controlled both the presidency and the Senate.

SCOTUS Justice Sotomayor’s Tearful Confession Raises Questions about Her Mental Fitness To Serve

After being on the Supreme Court for over a decade, Justice Sonia Sotomayor has revealed that being a liberal in a conservative court has been nothing short of heartbreaking for her.

She recently told an audience at Harvard University that there have been days where she has had to close her office door and cry after a case was announced. Sotomayor did not provide specific examples, but it is clear that she struggles with the fact that she is often on the losing side of cases due to her liberal beliefs.

Sotomayor’s emotional outbursts and inability to deal with her losses have not been limited to her recent speech at Harvard. In January, she made similar comments at an event at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law.

She admitted that she lives in a constant state of frustration and that every loss traumatizes her. This raises concerns about her ability to judge rationally and without bias.

As a member of the highest court in the nation, Sotomayor’s political views should not cloud her judgment. Justices are expected to be impartial and make decisions based on the law and the Constitution, not their personal beliefs. By her own admission, Sotomayor struggles to separate her emotions from her job, leading to the question of whether she is fit to serve as a Supreme Court Justice.

She was nominated by President Barack Obama on May 26, 2009, and has served since August 8, 2009. She is the third woman, first nonwhite woman, the first Hispanic and the first Latina to serve on the Supreme Court. She should be administrating the law, not her personal politics. She is only 69 years of age but we can get mentally deficient at any age.

And liberals have a full court press on to remove Clarence Thomas and even to pack the court with liberals. What a mess our country is in.
