Sad that she believes heath officials have the authority to override the Constitution.

We have laws and we have social workers. Her expertise seems to be with the later.

Sotomayor plays a deadly game with diabetes by carrying around too much weight. Why would I take health advice from her?

[unlearner]

I’d be willing to bet the same justices who dissented here would discover a Constitutional right to commit suicide if the issue came before the court.

Why can’t the government simply disseminate it’s findings and recommendations on options and possible safety precautions and let sovereign, free citizens make up our own minds on how to respond to the threat?

Is that too difficult to understand?

[kenmcg]

The Constitution and the first amendment mean nothing to that bitch.

[ETCM]

About what I was going to say. And calling this “stinging” is a joke. I suspect the 5 conservative justices couldn’t care less what the wise latina says.

[nutmeg]

Unbelievable. Not So Wise Latina...

[TXBlair]

Put a sock in it, woman.

[mo]

she has an MD as well? So who knew!!

[Trump_Triumphant]

Go back to munching some carpet.

[griswold3]

She believes only CERTAIN health officials have the authority to override the Constitution. They cherry pick their data.
Using a high school sophomore science fair project to combat a virus isn’t good protocol, but it’s all the have.

If the wise latina was truly wise, she’d know that lockdowns didn’t work the first time. Worldwide.

[ronnie raygun]

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

She is paving the way for these pukes who steal the election to change the courts.
She is discrediting the supreme court, did you hear that people! SHE IS DISCREDITING THE SUPREME COURT

[trebb]

She and others think that there’s a lot of “Noble Cause” clauses in the Constitution that allows it to be overridden for “the good of all”...

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.

Next: a ban on hang-gliding.

The planted axiom in setting aside the Constitution “for public health” is that the governor knows best, and churches are irresponsible.

Well, the governor in question has a mixed record at best at clairvoyance, and churches are not notorious for endangering people (and spare me the Jonestown reference; everyone knows about Jonestown precisely because it is extremely anomalous. Governments have their won Wacos to explain).

HEADLINE: Justice Sotomayor Upbraids SCOTUS Majority for is ‘Playing a Deadly Game’ With COVID Restrictions the Constitution

There. I fixed it.

“Justices of this Court play a deadly game in second guessing the expert judgment of health officials ...

So, the opinions of "health officials" now take precedence over the Constitution? It is Justices like Sotomayor who are playing the "deadly game" with the Constitution.
