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.
…strongly worded
“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.
Exactly my first thought, too little too late.
That ship was a “gift” to Clarence Thomas
“Turn out the lights, the party’s over.”
–some fat lady
warning it risks the court’s legitimacy.
Who’s gonna tell her?
Clarence will if you buy him a café latte.
The courts legitimacy sailed a long time ago.
