Might as well said, “ME AND MY ANTI-AMERICAN COMMUNIST BUDDIES” are asking for his personal tax returns”

No, she was saying that she, Sonya Sotomayor, is one of the individuals requesting Trump’s tax returns.

We don’t need to act like Alinsky.

She used “we” because she feels deeply that she is requesting his returns.

Her use of “we” illustrates her perspective. It’s not the perspective of a judge, or a “Justice.”

I disagree with the ‘wise’ part preferring to refer to it as the ‘Wide Latina’.

The President was right again!

Trump says Sotomayor, Ginsburg must recuse themselves from cases related to him

You should see the sudden silence when I confront the 1619 mentality....”1619 is on the British not America until 1783. The Brits countenanced slavery in this country and we spent nearly 181 years trying to clean up the mess British tainted slavery left us with.

They forget that from 1619 until the final battle for freedom in 1783 we were a part of great Britain....so technically Great Britain should be paying reparations. There was no concept of America until 1776 and no real America until 1783...but no constitution for some years after that.

Sotomayor esta La Cucharacha of the Supremes.

Ginsberg is a relative of Yoda’s.

Thank goodness these weirdos are slipping into their whacko twilight years.

Rats will sometimes tell the truth.It doesn’t happen often and it’s almost always by accident...but it’s fun to behold when it does.

No, that is how SCOTUS transcripts are rendered.

C-Span transcripts. All of them are in CAPS.

“Is it possible to impeach a SC Justice?”

Yes and it has been done. Samuel Chase was impeached by the House for political bias. He was found innocent by the Senate on all charges. He served until his death in 1811.

The same statute that the Dems are relying on gives the President almost unfettered authority to release anyone’s IRS records. Imagine the reaction in an alternate universe where President Trump had ordered the release of all of Pelosi’s and Schumer’s tax returns.
