Supreme Court justices are immune from being blackmailed/cajoled...uh, nevermind.

Catholic ping!
Again, they keep moving the ball and changing the rules.
She must have a very small file to blackmail her with if they haven’t bent her will by now.
Hmm, maybe we will get to see just how wise the Wise Latina really is. Or maybe just how independent the Judicial branch really is.
Thank You John Roberts. All of this horror story could have been avoided.
I believe Madison said that was the danger of this court.
There should be absolutely no contact between this court and any branch. The court is unique.
And it was given a job for "life" so no one would be beholding for a job when they left the bench.
Obama: “Wise up, Wise Latina. Or else.”
Aren’t muslims exempt from 0bamacare for religious reasons?

I don't know what the end game is but I just don't believe the wise latina would jump ship on this issue at this time.
Secondly, it shows what a mess this grand plan is, was and will always be. It will lead to it being abolished. It needs to be reversed "FOREVER" just as prohibition was reversed...by a Constitutional amendment.
I agree. I think this is just smoke and mirrors.
One of the realities of living in our divided and rabidly partisan world is that once normal actions are exaggerated greatly into heinous acts. This is true of both left and right. The DoJ is responding to Sotomayor’s TRO. They are making a legal argument,a preposterous one but it’s their argument. Responding to a judge’s ruling is not in any way “pressuring” the judge. Are there pressures being applied behind closed doors? Maybe. But it’s not what this article is talking about.
It’s paperwork only...strictly procedural. Has nothing to do with her position.
Given that she was nominated by the demonstrably most idiotic president we’ve ever had, I had absolutely no respect for her.
However, she may have a bit more cojones (and undoubtedly more intelligence) than the DORK in chief.
Perhaps she’ll make a good justice after all.
This article is rather misleading in this one respect. The Obama Administration isn't "pressuring" Justice Sotomayor. When Justice Sotomayor issued the order in question, granting the temporary injunction, she requested that the Department of Justice file by today a written response, to the extent that Justice was arguing against the continuation of the injunction.
The Department of Justice has now filed its response, per Justice Sotomayor's request, that's all. That's how the process is supposed to work.
Is that true? Anyone have a source?
She appears to have a fondness for Catholic nuns. I wonder how easily that can be intimidated out of her.
