My mving to Washington and becoming a Supreme Court justice five years ago was shocking, “like somebody throwing cold water on me,” says Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
The transition from being a little known appeals court judge in her hometown of New York to being an easily recognized Washington personality was extremely difficult, Sotomayor said.
“People stop treating you like a person,” she said. “It’s hard for someone like me who really likes people and wants to have living room conversations that are not posted on Twitter.”

And numbskulls like Lindsey Graham voted for this unqualified nominee.

Yeah, no s*** Sherlock
Incompetence beyond description would shock anyone
Shock to a lot of Americans, too...sweetie!! UGH!!

That is because your not a normal person anymore, your a member of an elite group of self-empowered tyrants, who regularly dictate entirely new and entirely unwritten clauses to our Constitution to which all of us are made slaves to serve rather than free men to protected by.
So no your not a person, your a master, a dictator, and technically a tyrant given your power was never envisioned or legitimately ceded in any ‘written’ constitution. It is instead entirely a product of the unwritten “constitution” of your own making that is the source of your demonstratively boundless( thus constitution less) power.
