Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts reins in Sotomayor after repeated interruptions
Sotomayor repeatedly interrupted the lawyer for the Trump admin

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts reined in Justice Sonia Sotomayor during argument over birthright citizenship and nationwide court injunctions on Thursday.

Sotomayor dominated questioning for several minutes at the outset of Thursday's argument after taking over from Justice Clarence Thomas. She pressed U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer for President Donald Trump's administration on several points relating to the authority for federal courts to issue nationwide injunctions, often speaking over the lawyer and interrupting him.

Sotomayor argued that Trump's order invalidating birthright citizenship violated four Supreme Court precedents, and that it was justified for a federal judge to grant an injunction against such a controversial order.

"You are claiming that not just the Supreme Court, that both the Supreme Court and no lower court, can stop an executive from universally violating holdings by this court," Sotomayor said.

"We are not claiming that because we're conceding that there could be an appropriate case only in class only," Sauer said.

"But I hear that--," Sotomayor said, beginning to interrupt Sauer.

"Can I hear the rest of his answer?" Roberts then interjected.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male....

For over 20 years the white males have her beat.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Sonia From the Block ain't gonna let no middle-aged Anglo man put her in a corner.



Being a white dude doesn't have as many privileges as it used to.  Middle-aged white males haven't read the memo.
