Inspiring: Justice Sotomayor Shows World Illiteracy Doesn’t Have To Stop You From Achieving Your Dreams

WASHINGTON, D.C — In a stunning display of determination and perseverance, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has shown the world that illiteracy is no match for ambition and dreams. Justice Sotomayor has defied the odds and reached the pinnacle of her profession, all without being able to read a single word.

"I just hope that my story can be used to inspire other little girls out there who can't read," said Justice Sotomayor with a tear in her eye. "Just because you can't make it through 'Hop On Pop' doesn't mean there's not a place for you on the highest court in the land."

Though naysayers tried to tell Ms. Sotomayor that being a judge required some degree of literacy, she refused to take "no" for an answer. "I never let the doubters hold me down," said Ms. Sotomayor. "They said I'd never be a judge without being able to read what the law says. Well, guess what? I can't even read the menu at Starbucks, much less the Constitution - but here I am, banging a gavel on the highest Court in America. Reach for the stars!"

Other lawyers have called her complete lack of knowledge a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stuffy profession. "You see this woman having her dissent delayed because she accidentally glued her hands together, and it just makes her so approachable," said attorney Ken Tarleton. "Her story gives people hope. I have a blind nephew who says she has given him the inspiration to become a surgeon. Incredible stuff."

At publishing time, Justice Thomas had graciously purchased Ms. Sotomayor the complete set of "Hooked On Phonics".

Three of the dumbest justices to ever sit on the court are all women and all democrats. Can you guess which three?

Proving the The Bee is America's news site of record.

So, three Supreme Court judges walk into a bar, a black, a Hispanic, and a lesbian....

She is truly the textbook example of an affirmative action promotion.

Three Wise Latinas would be even better.

What gifts they would bring!

But not knowing anything about humility or piety, they would incessantly worship themselves and each other, in an endless feedback loop.

Define “dumbest”.

They are political sock puppets who rose through the ranks of la familia to reach the pinnacle of corruption and evil where power, money and loyalty take priority over freedom and liberty.

I would humbly proffer they aren’t stupid insomuch as they are souless.

Wasted lives who relish in the prostetic love of purebred darkness.

Most eloquently pointed out in Pookies morning post. Three out of Nine justices on what questionably is the most powerful court in the history of the world believe that institutionalized racism was in the constitution!

Ah the Bee!

IIRC Sotom made up false false stats about child deaths by covid to try to shoot down a case against covid vaccine mandates.

Recently she said “Why do the states have more rights than the federal government,” showing complete ignorance of the purpose of the constitution and the tenth amendment. She has no business being on the court.

I would have never guessed.
