Sonia Sotomayor, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, raised eyebrows and cast doubt on her fitness for her elevated office during oral arguments over the pending Mississippi abortion case, Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health.
Constitutional scholars were taken aback by her injection of politics: “Will this institution survive the stench that this creates in the public perception – that the Constitution and its reading are just political acts?” Sotomayor asked. “I don’t see how it is possible.”
And her casual rejection of the Constitution as the arbiter of Supreme Court decision-making:

Why should she read the briefs? She hasn't read the Constitution.
The woman who calls herself a wise latina. I haven't even finished puking over that comment yet, and now there is this new thing to retch over.

I've read the glowing Wikipedia account of Sotomayor. Her intelligence seems extraordinary. There is no doubt that she has the chops to be a quality Justice. She also has the ability to rationalize any set of facts to accommodate her beliefs, that is if she doesn't care about the supremacy of immutable laws. This not caring about the Constitution is what in my estimation is what makes her EVIL!

It’s one thing to be “ignorant” meaning “lacking knowledge” and quite another to believe things which are demonstrably untrue but English has no word for that state, so I propose we call that “malignorant.” So in this area of science, our good Justice Sotomayor is not only ignorant but also malignorant.

Let’s see, isn’t she the calorically challenged one who reminds me of Lou Costello?

"A wise Latino female" was how the "one" described her. However, like Garland, like Kagan, she is nothing but a partisan hack. And now, they want Cammy on the court, not for her smarts or love of the constitution, but for her partisan approach to everything. Plus she would be the first to have flunked the bar, although I don't know if anyone checked on Sonia. I would not be surprised.

The facts don't fit her agenda, so she ignores the facts.

Sotomayor has provided ample, credible grounds for her own impeachment...if the spineless RINOs in Congress would just grow a pair...

She wasn’t qualified to sit on the Supreme Court when she was nominated by the Magic Negro. She certainly hasn’t learned anything since.

Sotomayor is just a brown version of Stacey "Tank" Abrams. A big mouth idiot.

Sotomayor does not demonstrate an understanding or acceptance of the role of the courts, which is to interpret the Constitution and duly passed laws. Her argument was based on what she DESIRED rather than being based on any legal interpretation.
NOWHERE does the Constitution address abortion. That is a FACT. A Constitutional amendment could be used to add abortion rights to the Constitution but only if the people, through their elected federal and state legislators, approved with the requisite majorities. Elevating abortion to a Constitutional right by the Supreme Court exceeds the authority of the court system and denies voters a voice.
Sotomayor does not understand her own job.

The Wide Latina has her mind made up long ago on this issue, and has even commented that she apparently is perfectly fine with decisions which "aren’t directly grounded in the Constitution.".
She's a purely political hack. She is NOT a judge interpreting the Constitution, and she no longer even pretends to be one.
And perhaps she should be now the Wider Latina.....seems wider every time I see a new photo. She clearly makes no effort to lose weight which is good for diabetics. Perhaps she won't be on the court after 2024 and Trump can appoint her replacement.

Sotomayor has been on the Supreme Court since 2009.
She has had miniscue impact.
She is a fly-weight justice.
She has not been assigned major majority opinions because she - by far - is the most liberal justice. "Sotomayor's Martin-Quinn score following the 2020-2021 term was -3.96, making her the most liberal justice on the court at that time."
https://ballotpedia.org/Sonia_Sotomayor
As of November 1, 2015 she had not written a major majority Supreme Court opinion.
https://abovethelaw.com/2015/11/this-scotus-justice-hasnt-written-the-majority-opinion-in-a-major-case-in-6-years/
It is not clear whether she has EVER written a major majority Supreme Court opinion. She has been assigned to write the majority opinion in many so-called "dog cases."
While a judge on the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals: "The Supreme Court [had] reversed Judge Sotomayor in seven instances where it granted certiorari to review an opinion she authored. In three of these reversals, the Court held that Judge Sotomayor erred in her statutory interpretation. In one case, the Supreme Court vacated a judgment Judge Sotomayor made and remanded the case back to the Second Circuit in which the Second Circuit issued a reversal on its original ruling."

Has she heard of the Dred Scott decision? She must have flunked that part of her education about the Constitution and the law.

Excuse the second post but I need to apologize to Justice Sotomayor for not saying posting my comment in a way she can understand, so, Your Honor, let me say: Eres malignorante.
