In the Supreme Court Oral Argument on Congressional Subpoenas for President Trump's Financial Records broadcast live, Justice Sonya Sotomayor slipped up and said "WE" are asking for his personal tax returns", while questioning President Trump's lawyer Patrick Strawbridge. Her use of "WE" instead of referring properly to the Congressional subpoena showed her true colors.

So has the President’s attorney requested her recusal from CJ Roberts?

Not really an exclusive if it went out on every CATV system in the US.

But only one person caught and highlighted the key exchange. (Mic drop.)

That’s good! I’m going to have to keep that in my back pocket. I do sometimes point out that the original point of sale of the slaves was in Africa, by Africans, so I suppose the Brits were wholesalers (wholesailors?).
In any case, the New York Times lies.

Don’t strain your arm patting yourself on the back.

There are stories on FR everyday about some crap that’s come out of Trumps mouth, and the folks here lose their minds.

She was speaking off the cuff, as normal people do.

Anyone getting worked up over this will find themselves very alone in their outrage.

Mic drop.

"Sotomayor esta La Cucharacha of the Supremes."

You misspelled "La Cuckoo-Raza."

Not really. SCOTUS Justices do not speak "off the cuff". They have well defined and modulated timeframes for asking their questions, usually 2-3 minutes each. After that they are cut off. These are skilled lawyers who are trained in how to construct arguments. Skilled in rhetoric and the Socratic method. Not your average barfly speaking off the cuff.

Her Freudian slip unmasked her. That is the key.

(Mic drop, with slow clap) :-)
