Sotomayor says she hopes Supreme Court will overturn presidential immunity decision

• Justice Sonia Sotomayor said she hopes the Supreme Court will overturn its 2024 ruling on presidential immunity, criticizing the decision as one of the "crazy things that it's done," Politico reported Saturday.
• The 2024 decision held that President Donald Trump could not be prosecuted for many acts tied to his official duties, a ruling Sotomayor and the court's two other liberal justices formally dissented from.
• Addressing an audience at George Washington's Mount Vernon estate in Virginia, Sotomayor described the nation as experiencing a "rough patch," noting "systemic changes in my court's jurisprudence."
• Sotomayor described the recent "outpouring of voters" as an encouraging sign, noting turnout near 49 percent and stating, "I don't think we will fail as a democracy."
• Suggesting lawmakers may need to intervene to restore eroded norms, Sotomayor voiced confidence the country will recover, saying "I genuinely believe it will happen" even beyond her lifetime.

Thanks sonny. Now, get me a beer.

Wildly inappropriate comments from a sitting SC Justice. These radicals feel invincible now

[bk1000]

Then it goes for all of them. Y’all are NOT going to railroad Trump and not pay a price.

[Terry L Smith]

I am 74. I was taught the office of The President of the United States is immune, when I was in the 8th grade!

Mdme. Sotomayor is in error.

“Mdme. Sotomayor is in error.”

Well, she’s retarded, so there’s that.

[Reily]

The Wide Latina has spoken!

[Vermont Lt]

That would not happen in her lifetime.

[Bobbyvotes]

She said during senate hearings that she was the wise latina. That was a red flag right there.

[Nervous Tick]

Sotomayor described the recent “outpouring of voters” as an encouraging sign, noting turnout near 49 percent and stating, “I don’t think we will fail as a democracy.”

Less than half of registered voters actually voted. That’s a success, Loopy Latina?

[Inyo-Mono]

"I don't think we will fail as a democracy."

A Supreme Court Justice who does not know the difference between a Republic and a Democracy.

[wiseprince]

In order for them to rule on it again a bunch of judges have to ignore their ruling (that they made about 2 years ago) and tell them to do it again. Is that really how SCOTUS decisions should be treated because I’m sure Trump wouldn’t mind slapping on some more IEEE tariffs

[Carl Vehse]

"Wildly inappropriate comments from a sitting SC Justice."

But exactly what one would expect from a complete idiot.... or a traitor.

[clearcarbon]

"Justice Sonia Sotomayor said she hopes the Supreme Court will overturn its 2024 ruling on presidential immunity,"

She just means as applicable only to current or past Republican presidents.

[doc maverick]

LMAO, Mayflower!

[Revel]

The USSC court controls it all. Nether the executive or the legislative can override them. Once the democrats control it with political hacks like this women, then nothing else matters anymore. They already have 3 and half women on the USSC. The half was appointed by Trump.

[T.B. Yoits]

The Judicial Branch does not dictate to the Executive Branch.

Let the Executive Branch remove the lifetime Supreme Court appointments starting this Friday at 5PM, then we'll see Sotomayor pointing and screeching about crossing branches.

She's nothing but a globalist hypocrite who shouldn't be serving in any government capacity, even a dog catcher.

[Vendome]

Dred Scott was SCOTUS worst decision

[Rummyfan]

Sotomayor described the recent "outpouring of voters" as an encouraging sign, noting turnout near 49 percent and stating, "I don't think we will fail as a democracy."

Supreme Court Justice does not acknowledge we are a representative republic.
