"Exhorting Latino voters to go to the polls 'to change this life for us Latinos.'"
Despite acknowledging that she should not do so, on her current book tour United States Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor nevertheless waded into politicking, bashing both the Federal Government’s response to Hurricane MarÃa in Puerto Rico and exhorting Latino voters to go to the polls “to change this life for us Latinos.â€In separate interviews with Telemundo and Univision, Sotomayor’s partisan edge was evident. On its October 16 national evening newscast, Telemundo featured Sotomayor’s message as part of that network’s Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) campaign, currently being deployed in partnership with an array of politically liberal-aligned voter mobilization organizations (including Voto Latino, UnidosUS, Hispanic Federation and Mi Familia Vota).
SOTOMAYOR: I am not supposed to speak about politics, but ...
I thought having partisan judges on the Supreme Court was a bad thing.
In her capacity as solicitor general, Elena Kagan was personally involved, even if only to a limited degree, in advising how to defend against challenges to Obamacare.
But the rules don't apply to the wise latina.
