SCOTUS Justices’ COVID Ignorance Illustrates Why They Should Stay in Their Lane
American Thinker.com ^ | January 10, 2022 | Selwyn Duke

Aside from labeling herself an “affirmative action baby,” Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor once suggested she was a “wise Latina.” Given this, apropos here is a line from ancient Chinese sage Confucius:

“Wisdom is, when you know something, knowing that you know it; and when you do not know something, knowing that you do not know it.”

Sotomayor certainly failed this test during oral arguments on Friday over the Biden administration’s COVID-19 “vaccine” mandates, making outlandishly incorrect claims that have brought her mockery. “We have hospitals that are almost at full capacity with people severely ill on ventilators,” she stated matter-of-factly. "We have over 100,000 children, which we've never had before, in serious condition, many on ventilators.”

Both assertions are so distant from reality that one could wonder where the judge gets her information; even limiting oneself to just New York Times perusal shouldn’t yield such profound ignorance.

In reality, hospitals are not nearly overwhelmed, and the children hospitalized who have coronavirus number only about 3,700, according to the CDC. Yet even this is misleading. As Dr. Anthony Fauci himself admitted recently — with Democrats’ tanking poll numbers inspiring him to paint a rosier picture — most of these children are hospitalized “with” SARS-CoV-2, not “because” of COVID-19.

(Note: The former is the pathogen; “COVID-19” is the disease that can result from it. So, technically, it’s not even correct to say that asymptomatic kids under medical care and testing positive for the virus are hospitalized “with COVID”; there is no “COVID” because they have no symptoms.)

As Fauci confessed, every child admitted to the hospital is automatically tested for the China virus, and thus will a kid being treated for a broken leg be listed as a hospitalization “with” SARS-CoV-2 upon a positive result.

I only hope they turn on the tv and see the world mocking them for their frightening ignorance.

But on top of that, the tests couldn’t really diagnose anything—let alone distinguish between Covid, colds and the flu.

I listened to the entire oral argument. Breyer kept repeating 750,000 cases. He said it over and over. It was the only fact at his fingertips. He must have heard it on the morning news, because it was “yesterday’s number.” If I had taken time to prepare a legal brief with facts, I would have been so annoyed that he didn’t even bother to read my report. Just clung to a random number he heard that morning while he was drinking his coffee. He came off like an angry lightweight. All three lib justices did. They gave “facts” from CNN. They discussed policy, not law. It was shocking and frightening to listen to!

Seems crystal clear to any thinking person that libtards do not value competence 🤪

They worship ideology at the expense of common sense.

<>They discussed policy, not law.<>

And the Scotus has been doing it for decades. Scotus and the exec administrative state make the law.

It is long past time to realize We the People aren’t self-governing.

Article V.
