Justice Sonia Sotomayor, speaking at a Florida college on Tuesday, made pointed remarks about the limits of presidential power and her fear that government officials might flout court decisions.

“Our founders were hellbent on ensuring that we didn’t have a monarchy,” she said, “and the first way they thought of that was to give Congress the power of the purse.”

...unless of course it's DEM administration



also from this article (she considers msm a branch of govt, lol):

“The press has always brought transparency to whatever the other three branches are,” she said, adding: “The internet is creating an extraordinary challenge to the press and to the world.”

“The lack of news literacy these days,” she said, is a looming catastrophe.

And that, for the record, is what qualifies as a “wise latina”.

Unless it’s Obeyme and Xiden.

[goodnesswins]

The lack of CONSTITUTIONAL LITERACY is the real problem, you moron!!!

She didn’t say that when Biden was in office and defying the court on forgiving student loans.

[Skywise]

Maybe if she hadn’t ceded her powers to the executive office when Obama was in power, I might respect her words more…

Wide Ass Latina

Judges are not monarchs either. Andrew Jackson famously said “the court has made their decision, now let them enforce it.”

[sopo]

a few impeachments would be an excellent check on the judiciary. Even without hope of conviction, the trials before the Senate would be extremely illuminating.

[vpintheak]

Maybe the “wise latina” could tell her fellow judges that they don’t make laws and policies? We are sick of your tyranny, black robes.

[Common Sense 101]

Once again, thanks to liberal filth and the brainless, drooling communist-loving POS scum that vote for them, we have this colossal dumbass (and the other two stooges) infesting the Supreme Court.

You are absolutely right.

[cgbg]

Our Founding Fathers would not have allowed her to vote.

Lol.

[lastchance]

The Wise Latina has spoken! And shown once again why she should not be on the USSC.

[FLT-bird]

What was it Leftists were saying about Clarence Thomas 4 years ago? Oh yeah....Gosh! I sure hope a *certain thing* doesn’t happen to her......

[cuz1961]

Justice Sonia Sotomayor is not Queen of the USA and she must follow the law not ignore it .

[Paladin2]

NO WAY am I going to obey a yugely Wide Latinx.

Just sayin’...

WHO elected her?

She’s a s-Stain on Democracy.

[SaxxonWoods]

Let’s see if any conservative judges will challenge her statement.
