Justice Sotomayor on Kavanaugh Coming to the Supreme Court: 'The Nine of Us Are Now a Family'
MSN / Time ^

Posted on 11/17/2018 4:35:19 PM PST by SMGFan

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor says that newly appointed Justice Brett Kavanaugh is already like “family.”

Sotomayor recently sat down with David Axelrod, for an episode of CNN’s “Axe Files” that will air Saturday, and spoke about welcoming in the new justice.

Kavanaugh was confirmed after a highly publicized Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in September. He was accused by Professor Christine Blasey Ford of sexual assault in the 1980s when they were both teenagers. Kavanaugh vehemently denied the accusation and was eventually confirmed with a 50-48 vote in the Senate.

Sotomayor said among Supreme Court justices, typically a lifetime appointment, there is no choice but to create a relationship.

Go easy on her. She doesn’t know how to write coherent opinions of legal matters, so she might as well function as the welcoming committee.

Her words were gracious. One hopes they are also sincere.

We all know how randy Judge-K is from the Senate hearings. Anyhow he happened to be seated next to her, gave Sotamoyor a right good goosing under her black bobes. What The Donald called grabbing by the P Hairs. Judge Kav had to break through some ancient spun cobwebs. But nonetheless gave that ol gal the most excitement she’s gotten in 30 years. Now she is sending him mash notes via text.

What the hell are you doing here joe? Lately every post you make is either anti Trump or anti everything. Do you not have a clue that those 9 justices work with one another every day? They have to get along even if they do not agree with one another. You are such a turd!

I see an Irish - Spanish Catholic connection here. A kind of sympatico...... But just kinda because she will vote ultra lib on the Supreme Court until she leaves feet first. Meanwhile they can joke around about Catholic school and air blow kisses.

“People can be friends and disagree on politics.”

I am friends with only one liberal, and it’s very difficult at times. We don’t discuss politics, but each of us has been known to throw in a short drive-by zinger once in a while. We have hobbies in common. Sadly, she has only a few days to live, and I will miss her.

I have liberal jewish friends. Livelong friendships. Good people but they are JFK era democrats. Not the radical violent democrats of today. We don’t talk much politics.

How? Yeah, you know, I’ve always quietly wondered about that myself.

But over the last few years? I’m slowly beginning to see how it’s really just basic Jesus 101, per John 13:35

“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”
Fwiw? My dad was a fairly hard core, practical conservative, but he was not at all religious and he strongly disliked preachers.

You had to earn his respect, his friendship, his love and pretty much any other positive he might feel about someone, so it’s kinda strange that he was the one who demonstrated that concept to me.

When and where he and mom retired, he was best friends and poker buddies with several life long, hard-core libs, one very high level NE D party.

His and mom’s daughters and grand daughters are all equally just as liberal, but no more arguing.

I asked him about it once before he passed. Said that family and friendship were more important to him than politics.

For someone who hated libs, bums and preachers back in the day, I’m amazed by how much he loved everyone in retirement.

I pray he rests in His Peace now.

The Slimes forgot to add the phrase “without evidence“.

“Family” has a very fluid definition to leftists.

She DOESN’T always vote ultra lib. I’ve seen her uphold death sentences.

Isn’t it great there’s a wise Latina there to have thoughts that no white guy could even have?
