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.)
Sotomayors dissent is in the context of the growing pushback in recent years by President Trump and his administration that has found support from the Courts 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.

And she nothing wrong when all 4 libs are 100% against Trump 99.99% of the time...go figure.
Maybe Roberts needs to reassess his comments about no bias on SCOTUS.
But But But.....Chief Justice Roberts has assured us Judges are completely impartial. So how can the Wide Latina be saying this???
It is vital to replace Thomas and Alito if he retires in the next 5 years with Strict Constructionists and it is even more vital to replace as many of the Gang of Four as possible with Strict Constructionists.
Once that is done, these nationwide injunctions which have no constitutional basis can be forever banned as well as reams of unconstitutional gun grabbing legislation.
OMG. Sotomayor? It figures. God lets impeach some of these supreme Court justices! Democrats wasted months and months and months on impeachment that was never going to work, instead of putting their time and energy into grooming good candidate to face President Trump. They lost that chance. They are complete and total morons.
She should show her sincerity by resigning (and take her several buddies with her)
Has Sotomayor ever...EVER sided with the conservatives, or President Trump?
Until she does, there will always be a split SC.
Ms Justice, have a little more introspection. We know you have an ego problem, but force yourself to have an OPEN mind.
Lot of fake judges...even four on the S.Court.
If i were her..i would resign.
The 4 demonRAT justices ALWAYS VOTE IN LOCKSTEP.
They never look at the facts or the law until after it passes through the filter of ideology.
If it's a left right issue, then all 4 votes go for the left side and the other 5 justices can decide on the facts and law.
The justices that lean right always consider the law and the facts, which is the reason, the left wins many more votes than they would if the right played by the same rules as the left.
The communists are so dishonest.
From now on, I will be calling them what they are, communists.
And, so, of course, the only way they can PROVE that it is not true is to vote against Trump. Case closed. See how easy that is?
Can of like Mini Mike being so generous as to ask all the other candidates to drop out and spare him the nonsense of campaigning.
Gee, could that possibly be that the 5 are following the Constitution which Pres. Trump repeatedly does? I knew she was a mistake.
I'm sick of politicians, pundits and even USSC justices using the words conservative and liberal. You either follow the Constitution or you don't. No amount of spin, parsing, twisting, distortions will change the words of the Founding Fathers.
Their writings, diaries, correspondence, publications, and debates are clear as to their intent regarding the most brilliant document ever written - The Constitution of the United States of America. Much of the content/ideals has been copied the World over time and again.
commuJustices...
Bring dem.
Letting her TDS shine bright and clear, obviously frustrated that the left is NOT winning the ideological battle.
No, you stupid Latina, the 5 majority ruling was NOT in favor of Trump, it was for the rule of law and the Constitution.
BTW Chief Justice Roberts, this dissent by the stupid left-wing TDS inflicted Latina on YOUR court proves that you are wrong about federal judges not being political.
Uh yeh thats why he picked the two new ones.
Are you pretending the previous liberal USSC majority didn't favor the Obama administration?
What a fraud!
Rebuke by Chief Justice John Roberts in 3...2...1...
Or never.
Your Honor (and I use that phrase whimsically), it’s called “balance of the Court” and it works both ways. Democrat presidents stack the Court with liberals who wipe their asses with the Constitution. The Republican presidents stack the Court with alleged “strict constructionists” who sometimes also wipe their asses with the Constitution.
It’s how the system works, sweetie. You had no problem rubber-stamping every damn thing Obama wanted, didn’t you?
she should resign in protest.
