Sotomayor overwhelmed by demanding SCOTUS workload: ‘I live in frustration’
NY Post ^ | 01/30/2024 | Ryan King

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor vented about being “tired” from her demanding workload on the high court as well as her “frustration” with the conservative-dominated bench.

Speaking to a group of students at the University of California, Berkley School of Law, the 69-year-old jurist opened up about the vicissitudes of serving on the court while increasingly in the political crosshairs.

“Cases are bigger. They’re more demanding. The number of amici are greater, and you know that our emergency calendar is so much more active. I’m tired,” she said, per Bloomberg Law.

“Token hire can’t handle the job”

She was overweight and diabetic when she came on board, did the not so wise Latina think that it was going to get easier?

It’s exhausting never doing the right thing.

Her socialist rubber stamp is wearing out.

Poor little dunce.

I’m tired,” she said,

I would say it was good time for her to quit.

She could always retire...hopefully after Trump wins the election.

Quit. Now. No- wait until 22 January 2025.

My bet is that she will announce her retirement immediately after the November election. That way Biden's handlers can pick her replacement and Chuckie Schumer can push confirmation through the Senate before January 2025, when Trump moves back into the White House and democrats lose control of the Senate.

Never heard a SC Justice whine like this before, much less to a bunch of college kids(!)

It would be plain to anyone who’s never heard of her before, that she’s a liberal.

Way to go, lady. You’re really diminishing yourself.

“Wise Latina”. So strong. So historic and amazing. Girl Power!

Indeed.

“conservative-dominated bench”

Is she kidding?

I’m not sure what she expected; she wanted it so badly.

If she doesn’t anymore, she’s welcome to resign.

Maybe she will retire like Ginsberg. Spend more time with her ancestors.

“polarizing political culture”

Now if we would all be good little Communists everything would be peachy.

She’s signalling to Team Brandon to get a fresh radical ready for the bench. She’s tuckered out and won’t make Ginsberg’s mistake.

We know you’re tired, Sonja, but please hold off on your retirement until the next GOP administration. Thank you.

I am late to the thread but I agree with you completely!

Who would have guessed, a judge on SCOTUS is a demanding job.

Poor baby.

Just retire, Trump will find a replacement for you in January 2005.
