U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a stinging rebuke of her conservative colleagues, calling out what she perceived as hypocrisy and false equivalencies in Wednesday’s ruling against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s COVID-19 restrictions.
In a 5-4 decision, the court’s conservative block of justices granted a temporary injunction requested by a Catholic Diocese and two Orthodox Jewish synagogues. By so doing, the court narrowly held that Cuomo’s regulations limiting attendance at religious services likely violated the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. It was the court’s first major decision since the staunchly conservative Justice Amy Coney Barret joined the bench.
Sotomayor was having none of it.
“Justices of this Court play a deadly game in second guessing the expert judgment of health officials about the environments in which a contagious virus, now infecting a million Americans each week, spreads most easily,” the Barack Obama-appointed liberal justice wrote.

Sotamayor puts her ignorance on full display. She has just said she is willing to put the words of “experts” above the United State Constitution. I bet she can hardly wait until the the “experts” say the country is safer without guns.
Let me re-write the first line: “Staunchly liberal U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor...,” etc.
well, wise latina, if science and medical people want to keep creating new ways to say the “cases” keep going up and you want to keep believing and backing the faulty numbers and methods you may want to find a new nic name for yourself.
F#CK SODOMIZER!
Who cares what that token thinks? She was seated for her ethnicity not her judicial acumen.

Well yeah - it’s right there after the preamble - “this constitution is null and void if a consensus of doctors decides this is harmful to communists.”
Of course I’m sure that if a consensus of doctors found abortion was murder she would agree and make it illegal.
Silly girl. You are NOT on expert on viruses or any other medical issue. Your job is to uphold the Constitution, not when convenient, but ALL the time.

Government has no authority to ignore or override the constitution.
Its main reason for existence is to limit and restrain government. Thats why it exists in the first place.
“Sad that she believes health officials have the authority to override the Constitution.”
