Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a blustering dissent in an ideologically split 5-4 Supreme Court ruling released Friday night in which she accused the five conservative justices who voted in the majority of repeatedly favoring the Trump administration.
The case involved an appeal by the Department of Homeland Security for an injunction in a ruling against the imposition by the administration of a “public charge rule” regarding immigrants in an Illinois case that the Court has already allowed for the other 49 states. (DHS fact sheet on public charge rule.)
Sotomayor’s dissent is in the context of the growing pushback in recent years by President Trump and his administration that has found support from the Court’s conservative majority against the imposition of nationwide injunctions by individual District Court judges against Trump administration actions. The increased imposition of nationwide injunctions has fueled a belief the lower courts are acting politically as part of the anti-Trump resistance.

Rather than give constitutional reasons why the decsion is wrong she relies on what amounts to politicla and/or personal attacks. Typical brainless liberal.
Elections have consequences. I would have thought such a “wise latina” would know that.

Of curse a liberal partisan Justice like Sonia would think that. Problem is the conservative group of Justices are not favoring the Trump Administration, they are favoring the Constitution as written. That is something this mental midget would not understand.
On a second point - Hey Roberts Sonia just called you a liar because she obviously disagrees with you that there are liberal and conservative judges. Anyone with a single brain cell knows that there are, which brings your integrity into serious doubt.
How it rolls horse face.
Whatever happened to rulings in support of or against the Constitution? What the hell does any administration have to do with it?
Best thing about Sotomayor is that she’s not all that physically healthy.
That lawless racist shouldn’t be sitting on the Supreme Court at all.
The wide Latina opens her tamale hole.
How can Roberts “rebuke” his own decision? Never heard of the USSC going back on a final ruling.
Looks like the impeachment failure and Trump’s rise in the polls has got Sonia in a bad mood.
Well,yeah....I’m just gonna take wild guess and say....that’s why Trump appointed them!!! You and Kevin James an RGB are just going to have to wait until there’s a liberal president.
Projection much?
Sotomayor is worried that the left’s hold on the courts is weakening.
How much has our society been changed not by the will of the people but by a few judges pushing their own agenda?
Sotomayor is young enough that she will have a long time just sitting there on the losing side.
Does this dipshit understand she's admitting that the opposite is true? That four progressive liberal USSC Judges routinely vote against the American people and the United States Constitution?
Wise latina my lilly white ass.
She should be impeached for bad behavior.
“Their writings, diaries, correspondence, publications, and debates are clear as to their intent”
Most of the problems have come from “amendments” which instead mending the document, have created problems.
She must have gotten the memo about RBG’s health
I’m going to predict that RBG retires approximately one month before the election. If Trump wins and she is still on the court, it guarantees that he gets to pick another conservative replacement. But if she retires prior to the election but not enough time to replace her, it becomes a giant election issue and the Dems need absolutely anything they can at this point to at least try to sway voters.
If Justice Sotomayor believes she is in a hostile work environment, she always has the option of resigning from her appointment and accepting the fairly generous pension terms, no questions asked. After all, she does not NEED to take the abuse an the perceived bias of the other members of the court, her services may be better appreciated elsewhere.
But then, she knows perfectly well what she will and will not tolerate and accept. When she has reached the limits of both, she knows what she must do.
