Sotomayor overwhelmed by demanding SCOTUS workload: ‘I live in frustration’
NY Post ^ | 01/30/2024 | Ryan King

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor vented about being “tired” from her demanding workload on the high court as well as her “frustration” with the conservative-dominated bench.

Speaking to a group of students at the University of California, Berkley School of Law, the 69-year-old jurist opened up about the vicissitudes of serving on the court while increasingly in the political crosshairs.

“Cases are bigger. They’re more demanding. The number of amici are greater, and you know that our emergency calendar is so much more active. I’m tired,” she said, per Bloomberg Law.

Appellate judgeships are where lawyers go to retire. Never met an appellate judge who died of too much vacation or too many clerks to do their research and writing for them. Sotomayer is just plain dumb and way over her head in anything that does not involve shaking a fryer at McDonalds.

Now is a good time for her to retire.

David Souter retired fairly young too.

If you can’t handle the workload, or you hate the majority of the people you work with, retire bitch.

She’s a type 1 diabetic, so she, at 69 years old is already pushing up against her life expectancy. Need to get Trump back in office... at least reasonable chance he will get to replace her if he is elected.

Dear Justice Sotomayor,

Welcome to the world of we peons. Thing is...because we are real people we don't cry like girls. We take it on the chin and count our blessings of having jobs. Quite a few if us sleep well at night. Shake it off, you're paid better than most of us ever will be.

She’s a type 1 Diabetic, and pushing up hard against the average life expectancy. Obviously she gets the best health care available, but still.

If the left is smart they would have her retire this year... because they will lose the Senate this fall, and Trump will almost certainly be the President...

Would be a nice Karma if he got to replace this activist nimrod as well...

This article may just be the trial balloon to prep for her stepping down so they can put someone younger and even whackier in office before November.

Sotomayor added that, “I am one tired Latina woman…It is time for a siesta.”

It must be hard to keep track of how she’s told to vote. Trying to stay awake during court is nearly impossible, I’m sure. Such a hard life.
