Summary
Justice Sonia Sotomayor criticized the Supreme Court’s conservative majority for granting broad presidential immunity, warning it risks the court’s legitimacy.
Speaking in Louisville, she reiterated her dissent in the 6-3 ruling that limited Trump’s criminal liability for Jan. 6. She argued the decision contradicts constitutional principles and public sentiment.
Sotomayor also warned against rapidly overturning precedents, citing Roe v. Wade and affirmative action.
While acknowledging her colleagues’ sincerity, she stressed that abrupt legal shifts create public distrust and instability in the judiciary.
“Warning it risks the court’s legitimacy.”
Girl, that ship has sailed.
I would be more embarrassed to be seen with a Supreme Court justice than half the criminal population.
That ship was a “gift” to Clarence Thomas
“Turn out the lights, the party’s over.”
–some fat ladyExactly my first thought, too little too late.
…strongly worded
warning it risks the court’s legitimacy.
Who’s gonna tell her?
Clarence will if you buy him a café latte.
And an RV.
with or without pubic hair?
Yes.
I take this to mean handing over the drink, then after he takes a sip you take it back then visibly pull a few and add before handing it over again. “You seemed to enjoy that, here’s some more of that flavor.’
The courts legitimacy sailed a long time ago.
I guess we’ll take what we can get
