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.

She’s more suited for a head housekeeper supervisor role at the downtown Sheraton.

The “wise Latina” always has the option of resigning. That way, she can show the world she is truly wise.

First time I’ve heard one of the USSC judges say...I’m overworked and tired. Absurd.

Every loss truly traumatizes me in my stomach and in my heart,” Sotomayor admitted, per the report.“

I wonder if she is dismayed and deeply troubled like so many of her fellow travelers? Really quite unfortunate she and her commie pals are too brainwashed to know their every loss is a victory for our Constitution.

I wonder if Mitch would hold open the seat again if she retired knowing Orange Man Bad is coming back?

I’m sure the leftists want to avoid another Ruth Bader Ginsburg situation.

Ruth thought she could outlast Donald Trump.

If she retires before the election, she would be replaced by another liberal.

If she tries to outlast Trump 2nd term, will she make it to Jan. 2029? Given her known health problems, does she want to try to outlast Trump2nd term???

“Diversity” hire

Incompetent from the get-go

Decisions based on politics and not The Constitution

The epitome of the Affirmative Action Jackson

She can always resign.

Plus, her clerks are writing all the opinions and Democrats tell her how to vote in landmark decisions. All she has to do is pretend to be somewhat interested in oral arguments during the rare times SCOTUS is fully paneled to hear cases.
