“Those numbers show that omicron is as deadly and causes as much serious disease in the unvaccinated as delta did. … We have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in serious condition and many on ventilators.”
— Justice Sonia Sotomayor, during oral argument at the Supreme Court, Jan. 7
Several readers questioned these remarks by Sotomayor, made during a hearing on whether the Biden administration’s nationwide rules ordering a vaccination-or-testing requirement on large employers were constitutional. Her remarks came during an exchange with Ben Flowers, Ohio’s solicitor general, as he referred to a brief filed by the American Commitment Foundation, which argued that the rise of the omicron variant had made the vaccine rules less relevant because vaccines do not appear especially effective against it.
(We will not address remarks made by Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, which some readers also thought were wrong. The official court transcript suggested he had made an inflated statement about the annual flu: “Flu kills — I believe — hundreds of thousands of people every year.” The flu kills between 12,000 and 52,000 people in the United States a year, but the audio of the argument shows Gorsuch actually said that “flu kills, I believe, hundreds, thousands of people every year.” So the transcript is incorrect.)

Lindsey Graham thinks she’s the bees knees.
So, is she really that misinformed or is she intentionally polluting the record?
She’s misinformed. Everyone who watches mainstream media doesn’t know the truth.
Makes me wonder what else she’s clueless about.
Who gave her the talking points?
Did the lawyers representing freedom call her out on her lies or are they bought and paid for too?
Sonja gots the sads today because wp didn’t cover for,her
I’m sure she’s comforting herself with a gallon of Haagen-Dazs.
None of her claims have anything to do with the legal question before the Court and so they are irrelevant anyway.
It’s no secret that Supreme Court clerks write many of the opinions that have a Justice’s name on them. The problem is that it’s much harder for someone like this Puerto Rican nitwit to hide her stupidity and ignorance when she opens her mouth in an oral argument session.
Traitors like Sotomayor lie like normal people breathe.
To pretend unborn babies do not feel pain like the rest of us, she claimed 40% of dead people recoil when touched. Quote:
"There's about 40 percent of dead people who, if you touch their feet, the foot will recoil. There are spontaneous acts by dead brain people. So I don't think that a response to -- by a fetus necessarily proves that there's a sensation of pain or that there's consciousness." -- The Foolish LatinaShe also uses the weasel word "necessarily." Babies do not necessarily feel pain. In other words: Maybe they do, maybe they don't. So what?
Liberals always go with their feelings instead of with facts.
But Gorsuch did not see We have thousands of people dying due to the flu," and thus could be speaking worldwide. But WAPO does not mention that.
"Sotomayor went off the rails: “We have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in serious condition and many on ventilators.” That’s wildly incorrect, assuming she is referring to hospitalizations, given the reference to ventilators. According to HHS data, as of Jan. 8 there are about 5,000 children hospitalized in a pediatric bed...hospital admissions of children...the current seven-day average (Dec. 30-Jan. 5) is 797"..So Sotomayor is not wrong to suggest the rate of pediatric admissions is cause for concern.
It’s actually one gorillian.
