Without mentioning his name, liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor took a veiled shot at President Trump on Thursday evening.
During remarks at an event for the American Bar Association in DC, Sotomayor told lawyers in attendance to stand up and fight against unprecedented attacks.
“Our job is to stand up for people who can’t do it themselves. And our job is to be the champion of lost causes,” Sotomayor said referring to Trump’s executive actions against Deep State law firms.
“But right now, we can’t lose the battles we are facing. And we need trained and passionate and committed lawyers to fight this fight,” Sotomayor said according to AP.
Sotomayor’s comments come after Chief Justice Roberts on Wednesday evening rebuked President Trump AGAIN in a rare public appearance.
This is the second time Roberts has publicly lashed out at President Trump in recent months.
In March Justice Roberts defended the rogue judiciary and slammed Trump’s call for impeaching judges.
Speaking at a fireside chat to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the US District Court for the Western District of New York, Justice Roberts lashed out at Trump for his calls to impeach radical judges.
“Well, I’ve already spoken to that and, you know, impeachment is not how you register disagreement with decisions,” Roberts said in front of hundreds of judges and lawyers.
“That’s what we’re there for,” Roberts said.
“The judiciary is a co-equal branch of government, separate from the others, with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law and strike down, obviously, acts of Congress or acts of the president,” he said.

I somewhat agree with Roberts. Impeachment is too cumbersome process to deal with renegade judges. Congress needs to create a court of judicial misconduct to determine when judges have not demonstrated "good behavior" in office, and greatly limit appeals to SCOTUS from it. We need to be a nation of laws, and not of judges. The judges do not personify the law, and are not above criticisms for bizarre conduct. The judiciary is not superior to the other two branches of government so they set policy contrary to the elected branches.
This fat pig never read her job description. Probably because it’s in English. Hope she gets gangrene.
things are stirring up nicely. this is what I voted for.
oooooohhhh...the FAT WISE LATINA SPEAKS!!
Time to pack the court like democrats promised except with rock ribbed hard core conservatives. And take off the gloves Trump and nail these suckers back. They can criticize but no one else can??
My fear is I’m not sure there is a check on the Supreme Court. If they make rulings that Trump can’t do anything, who can override them?
The Wide Latina is just more human garbage dressed up in black clown robes.
“...with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law and strike down, obviously, acts of Congress or acts of the president,” he said.”
The SCOTUS is co-equal. The lesser courts are not. They have no standing to tell the Executive branch how to operate.
Instead of a veiled threat from her I would like her to become a veiled justice-——maybe with the Burqua that has little eye holes in a black hood. Would make the world a more beautiful place.
We elected Trump again and are happy with the results. We did not elect these two pigs.
No you're not. You have been AWOL. You should be declared resigned, hauled off to retirement and replaced by someone who will show up for work.
So much for judges aren’t political, eh Roberts?
Her job is to interpret the law, the vonstituion. It is NOT to advocate for anyone or anything. It is nit to be a voice for anyone. Roberts has turned the USSC into a 501C3 special interests organization. Worst, and most compromised, CJ in history.
1. That there was no check on the Supreme Court.
What will
happen when the "have nots" outnumber the "haves".
Read Rodell..."55 Men and the Constitution".
If the judiciary won’t police themselves, start ignoring their orders.
Trump has immunity from their contempt power, he has pardon power and any pub who does not support him gets primaried.
Ya, maybe now is the time for 11, 12, 20 SCJs.
I will look that up. Thank you for the info.
We wouldn't have a problem with the judges if it didn't go the Left's way EVERY TIME in the courts.
The softcover is about $10. Don’t know if it’s still in libraries.
