She’s not really taking the high road on this one. And she seems to be saying that rhetoric (by POTUS or others, it seems), has an IMPACT on the LAW and the literal interpretation of the LAW.
I don’t think that is what she swore to uphold - “....the law as impacted by rhetoric of public figures as seen through my liberal rose-colored glasses.....”.
She would be wise to shut up, as she risks tainting future cases by her words, in the same way she is suggesting POTUS has done.
JMHO
The wide latina is on the wrong side of history and unAmerican.
So, it was Sotomayor, Kagan, Ginsburg, and Kennedy in dissent?
Why is it when anybody by the name of Kennedy gets anywhere near government, bad things tend to happen.
You could start inferring seriously negative cultural drawbacks to the Irish based on the Kennedy’s performance in government.
Send her back to school, and meanwhile replace her with a judge that at least appears to know the Constitution.
You stay Classy, Wise Latina!!
“calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States’ “
You would think someone who is a Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States would know enough to quote properly. The always leave off “ until we can figure out what the hell is going on”
One of the biggest lies is being perpetuated by a Supreme Court justice!
There are between 49 and 51 Muslim-majority countries in the world, according to estimates from 2010. The fluctuation is a result of the changing demographics in countries where Muslims comprise around 50 percent of the population.
President Trump’s declaration was to suspend refugees/immigrants from SIX of them!
If you are from Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Algeria, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Jordan, Albania, Malaysia and dozens of more Islamic countries you welcome—providing you fill out the required paper work and do everything legally.
NOT a ban on Muslims, Sonia. It isn’t and all the wailing in the world doesn’t make it so.
who gives a crap
“Ultimately, what began as a policy explicitly ‘calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States’
the sheer ignorance of this statement is astounding...
Remember, that epochal decision gave us the riveting "Al Capone's Vault," which, like it's pseudo-Hispanic creator, wound up being a phenomenal dud.
Kind of like Mizz Sottedmayor.
How very civil and adult like....
If you are incapable of writing your decent and letting that speak for you, and instead, insist on a video rant, perhaps you lack the maturity to sit on the highest court of the land?
Who gives a crap!!!
Left wing Justice doesn’t like Constitution.
That’s not news.
The “wise latina” has faulty logic.
I’m guessing she gets 500K for her hate America decision and 500K to publicly protest the decision.
When I become dictator I will not allow these judges to pretend that they are President.
Guess Sonya’s clerk couldn’t find the federal statute which gives, in plain language, exclusive power to the president to decide who gets to come into the country.
People have been brainwashed to believe that we have some obligation to allow entry into the United States, which is asinine.
It was Cultural Marxism that landed Sotomayor in the court to protect those of her Latino identity from being oppressed. It was setting the stage for the flood of illegals that Zer0 and, later Hillary, would use to change the culture of America into a totalitarian tribalist state ruled by an elite class. Such tribalistic systems are what we see in those failed nations south of our border.
Based on her ignorant reasoning, then every politician who runs for office and gets elected could be sued by an aggrieved constituency because of their political rhetoric.
Sonia, what part of the explicit wording of the constitution on this subject makes your stupid opinion about why the duly elected President made a decision matter? Or are you just another feckless hunt hat wearing imbecile?
