Sotomayor should recuse herself from this case. Her behavior, as described in this article, is an embarrassment.
PR would be better off to declare itself separate from the US....become a country, and attract companies via a tax-free status to set up and provide jobs for the economy.
The “wise latino” who should not be a judge at all, nevermind a justice of the Supreme Court.
If only, if only somehow we could in our infinite appeasing, quisling liberal conniving goodness just accommodate the citizens of Puerto Rico by GIVING them statehood with two Senators and some Congressmen without that pesky Federal Income Tax Requirement, actually paying off their damned debt, or deleting their SSDI payments for being ‘disabled’ by only speaking Spanish......if only.
The ‘wise Latina’ isn’t interested in the United States; she’s interested in bringing it down.
Thank goodness that we have a wide Latina holding down the Bench.
It’s the Dumb Latina.
Another system that ran out of other people’s money
While I agree with the First Cir 100%, Judges do this ALL the time. I’ve argued enough cases (and at the appellate level( where I hve wanted to say a couple times “would you please stop trying the case for the other side”.
Obviously whoever wrote the article doesn’t understand how the system works.
All of my FRiends with money in tax-free bond funds should review the fund’s bond list. A lot of them have substantial holdings in Puerto Rican bonds and, if the wide Latina gets her way, will see those holdings’ value drop to zero.
I don’t see the Supreme Court reversing a unanimous verdict 5-3.
Why is Sam Alito recused?
Is this an intentional power play by John Roberts to give the leftists (Kagan, Breyer, Ginsburg, Sotomajor) a sure majority?
“””The case will be decided by seven justices, since the late Justice Antonin Scalia hasn’t been replaced and Justice Samuel Alito is recused. That means Sotomayor would need four votes to win. Chief Justice John Roberts spoke briefly, expressing skepticism about Puerto Rico’s position. Justice Clarence Thomas was silent. So was Justice Anthony Kennedy”””
What is going on???
Democrat money laundering.
Judges don’t give advise on how to win your case. She is not a real judge; sorry any lovers of change for the sake of change...
