“WE” clearly shows siding with one of the litigants.

Will anyone do anything about it?

I doubt it. She’ll just say she was using an editorial “we”. And the media will fully support her.

Justice Sonya Sotomayor was and always a communist Democrat and not fit to be on the SC.

She's unfit for the bench, always has been, always will be. And she's an Obama / Demagogic Party judge -- just like the useless CJ has turned out to be.

Is anybody seriously surprised by this? I’m just surprised she doesn’t slip up and take sides more often.

I guess that she should admitted to being a full on member of the deep state. We already knew that.

Anybody that doesn’t know that the Usurper’s Supreme Court “Justices” are political hacks and not fair minded jurists hasn’t been paying attention.

The president loves to make deals.

Perhaps he should agree to supply his if every single person holding elected office in the federal government or campaigning for a federal elective office, or under consideration for appointment to any federal office including supreme court judges including and with special attention to cabinet members, as well as family members of all of the above,: Will be required by law to submit their state and federal returns and any supporting information requested by members of congress.

And any entity, commercial or private, identified as linked to any of the above financially, whether through charity or any other financial means will be required to submit state and federal tax records and any requested supporting documents.

How many of the Schumer, Pelosi tribes do you think would go for that deal?

So, if I understand this correctly, they have a right to Trump’s tax returns from before he was POTUS. But we don’t have standing to see obumbers birth certificate? Sounds about par for the course. If only we had republican representation in congress.

"THE SUBPOENAS AS FAR BACK AS 1792"

Why not 1619?

The Wise Latina.

Way back someone ask her about one of her decisions and she replied, "Well, I should HOPE a Latina woman would make a better decision than a white man."

Try to imagine the reaction from the press if that were turned around and a white judge answered, "Well, I should HOPE a white man would make a better decision than a Latina woman."

An honest justice would have recused. It’s beyond obvious that she’s conflicted.

WE need to Alinsky every issue here.

WE have lost so much in our culture and in politics by being reasonable with an enemy which is unreasoable.

Its possible, not bloodywell likely. She has type 2 diabetes pretty bad. Hopefully not to long for her or Ruth buzzi to resign.
