Sotomayor, rather than the arrogant description of herself as “a wise Latina,” is as dumb as a fencepost.

I can’t verify this myself but I heard someone who knew the law say Sotomayor almost never has legal justifications and precedents to cite in her opinions. Rather they are her off the cuff personal opinions based on her own prejudice and emotions.
As I said, I can’t back that up but it looks like it’s true.

This is from a source I can’t stand, NPR but has good arguments against biased judges like her:

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2009/05/sotomayors_wise_latina_line_ma.html

“....I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”

From Stuart Taylor in the National Journal:
Indeed, unless Sotomayor believes that Latina women also make better judges than Latino men, and also better than African-American men and women, her basic proposition seems to be that white males (with some exceptions, she noted) are inferior to all other groups in the qualities that make for a good jurist.

Any prominent white male would be instantly and properly banished from polite society as a racist and a sexist for making an analogous claim of ethnic and gender superiority or inferiority.

Imagine the reaction if someone had unearthed in 2005 a speech in which then-Judge Samuel Alito had asserted, for example: “I would hope that a white male with the richness of his traditional American values would reach a better conclusion than a Latina woman who hasn’t lived that life” — and had proceeded to speak of “inherent physiological or cultural differences.”

I lost all confidence in and respect for the Supreme Court justices when they refused to examine the evidence of massive election fraud.

Is there any chance of a possible 4-4 tie in the SC?

If they had critical thinking skills they would never have been nominated.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor made a number of false statements about the vaccine's ability to prevent transmission of the virus.

Yes, they are buffoons and so out of touch with reality that I think the Supreme Justices that are liberal lean to far tot the left.

These are mandates by Biden and they are unconstitutional.

We can not wait till November and get the R's who are responsible folks and at least they follow our constitution which is our governing document.

What pi$$e$ me off is This should be an argument over the Constitutionality of the mandate .. Not Opinions on the medical advantages or disadvantages!

Good God .. None of these so called “Supremes” are Doctors, or are they?

It was shocking. It's almost like these morons have only been listening to their own little NPR echo chamber and even got those data-points wrong.

Or, they are in the business of spewing misinformation....

Take your pick.

Meanwhile, looks like healthcare in NYS isn't hitting the skids fast enough...

New York health care workers will be required to get COVID booster

Note to all the NYS healthcare workers who stood back and refused to support their refusenik colleagues: Prepare to hang separately.

The Leftist judges on the SC demonstrated today not only are they unfit to be on the SC, they are totally unfit to be Judges of any sort. The hyper political partisan idiocy on display today at the Court was a national embarrassment

Sotomayor, Kagan, and Roberts are certainly good at offering an opportunity to reveal their ignorance while they believe themselves to be fortifying their thesis.

Better be the fool to listen and be quiet than to speak and remove all doubt.

Can we count on Beer-Guzzling Brett or Amy “Mommy State” Barrett to do the right thing here?

We definitely need some JUSTICE REFORM. The damn Federal “judges” have completely gone rogue. When was the last time President Trump won a case? There is a double standard for Commie RATS and Americans. I just read where a menopausal “judge” has told prosecutors to be harder on the January 6th party boys. That’s enough right there to force this moron to have to recuse herself from having anything to do with the “insurrectioners”. It’s time to start vetting these idiots we’re given total godlike powers to.
