Sotomayor refers to herself as an ‘affirmative action baby’ (seriously). It shows.
The self-proclaimed “Wise Latina” is actually one of the dumbest SCOTUS justices ever. Glad she’s on their side.
The yoke of government must be kept light if Freedom is to Prevail.
Since when did member of the supweme court start and play the prosecutor role.
This weaponization of our government has to end.
The swamp needs to be nuked
She asked a question for which she didn’t know the answer. I’m no lawyer, but I figure most people in the profession should know not to ask them.
There’s nothing wrong with alternate electors.
There is something wrong with offering a false instrument for filing stating to the effect that they were “duly elected”. That’s what they did and in many cases are getting prosecuted for.
Pennsylvania alternate electors at least had competent legal advice that suggested having language that the alternate electors would only be in okay if President Trump won his legal challenges.
In considering further, I’m not as ticked at the alternate electors as much as the attorneys who concocted this crazy scheme and offered little in the way of legal protections for the alternate electors.
The affirmative action picks reveal themselves by their incompetence. The wide Latina might be qualified to be a night judge dealing with drunk defendants; other than that, she is out of her league.
Makes you wonder who is giving her the questions to ask..
Just hang in there for 8 more months Wide Latina....give us 8 more months on the court. Then you can croak.
Sotomayor is so brilliant she needed tutoring to get through law school, and basically received a gimme from the bar association. DEI all the way..
This one, and that dingbat Biden appointed. A scotus justice should have a modicum of intelligence at minimum.
This argument really throws ice water, not only on J6, but on all the Dem controlled states like Michigan and Arizona that have been filing of late politicized fake elector indictments against Republicans naming Trump as an unindicted co conspirator who in reality had set up alternate electors.
Duly elected state legislative majorities created the slates of alternative 2020 presidential electors as required by the Constitution. This happened after these legislatures observed state election officials breaking state election laws in several ways, including tampering with voting machines, mailing ballots to random strangers, double counting votes, ejecting poll watchers, vote harvesting....
Arguments don’t matter in front of Sotomayor, her mind is already made up.
The Wide Latina is ignorant just a token.
“Absolutely, your honor,” Trump attorney John Sauer responded. “We have the historical precedent we cite in the lower courts of President Grant sending federal troops to Louisiana and Mississippi in 1876 to make sure that the Republican electors got certified in those two cases, which delivered the election to Rutherford Hayes.”
Sotomayor’s limitations notwithstanding, I hope the Supreme Court Justices are aware of the dangers inherent in prohibiting any challenge to elections and their integrity and to possibly or certainly fraudulent elections.
I still have not heard a cogent explanation of what act or acts committed by the alternate Electors who have been charged with crimes are actually illegal.
I mean, start at the beginning. In 2000, there were persons running for the position of Florida Elector on the ballot pledged to vote for Al Gore.
During all of the controversies, were they not “alternate electors”? By occupying that status, did they commit any crime or crimes?
What did the Michigan people pledged to vote for Donald Trump do that was different?
They forged no documents (as far as I know). No one submitted certificates of ascertainment with their names on it and Gretchen Whitmer’s forged signature, right? They never claimed to have been appointed by a session of the Michigan legislature, did they?
Sotomayor is a glaring example of ideological ignorance and its bearing on facts involving historical precedent.
I doubt Sotiomayor ever took a comprehensive US History course.If she had, she would not have stuck her stinking Marxist size 9 foot into her oral sphincter.
It sure looks good on her.And it sure looks good on Jack (off) Smith.
Trump Lawyer NUKES Sotomayor’s “Fraudulent Electors” Talking Point at SCOTUS“Apply it to the allegations here. What is plausible about the president assisting in creating a fraudulent slate of electoral candidates, assuming you accept the facts of the complaint on their face, is that plausible that that would be within his right to do?” Sotomayor asked.
“Absolutely, your honor,” Trump attorney John Sauer responded. “We have the historical precedent we cite in the lower courts of President Grant sending federal troops to Louisiana and Mississippi in 1876 to make sure that the Republican electors got certified in those two cases, which delivered the election to Rutherford Hayes.”
“The notion that is completely implausible, I think, just can’t be supported based on the faces of this indictment or even…” he continued.
“Knowing that the slate is fake, knowing that the slate is fake, that they weren’t actually elected, that they weren’t certified by the state. He knows all those things…” Sotomayor objected.
“The indictment itself alleges, I dispute that characterization. The indictment affixes the word label to the so-called fraudulent lectures. It fixes the word fraudulent, but that’s a complete mischaracterization,” he replied.
“On the face of the indictment, it appears that there was NO DECEIT about who had emerged from the relevant state conventions, and this was being done as an alternative basis,” he concluded.
Thus buries a dishonest partisan Democrat talking point about the “fake electors” plot. It is a Constitutionally authorized process contingent upon the results of Electoral College votes.
This is what the Democrat-controlled media does: Twist the language to promote their political agenda in defiance of the law and the U.S. Constitution.
