FREE REPUBLIC EXCLUSIVE: Justice Sotomayor slips up and says "WE are asking for his personal tax returns" in SCOTUS arguments on Trump tax case today

C-SPAN AUDIO FROM SCOTUS ^ | May 12, 2020 | Supreme Court Audio+Transcript

[Pirate Ragnar]

She is a cancer on the face of justice.

[mo]

So has the President’s attorney requested her recusal from CJ Roberts?

[Vermont Lt]

Not really an exclusive if it went out on every CATV system in the US.

[nwrep]

But only one person caught and highlighted the key exchange. (Mic drop.)

[outofsalt]

That’s good! I’m going to have to keep that in my back pocket. I do sometimes point out that the original point of sale of the slaves was in Africa, by Africans, so I suppose the Brits were wholesalers (wholesailors?).
In any case, the New York Times lies.

[Secret Agent Man]

congress can

[Secret Agent Man]

none of the dems recuse themselves voluntarily

[SteveH]

> You spelled “lawfully execute for treason” wrong, didn’t you?

woops, my bad... lol...

[Renkluaf]

She didn’t “slip up.”

[Vermont Lt]

Don’t strain your arm patting yourself on the back.

There are stories on FR everyday about some crap that’s come out of Trumps mouth, and the folks here lose their minds.

She was speaking off the cuff, as normal people do.

Anyone getting worked up over this will find themselves very alone in their outrage.

Mic drop.

[Just mythoughts]

Oh, my.. FR is laden with your ‘who am I to judge’ “crap”.

[Henchster]

"Sotomayor esta La Cucharacha of the Supremes."

You misspelled "La Cuckoo-Raza."

[nwrep]

Not really. SCOTUS Justices do not speak "off the cuff". They have well defined and modulated timeframes for asking their questions, usually 2-3 minutes each. After that they are cut off. These are skilled lawyers who are trained in how to construct arguments. Skilled in rhetoric and the Socratic method. Not your average barfly speaking off the cuff.

Her Freudian slip unmasked her. That is the key.

(Mic drop, with slow clap) :-)
