The “Wise Latina” is an embarrassment, and it is good that Sonia reminded us of her obnoxious wokism since it has been briefly over-shadowed by Biden’s DEI appointment, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. That embarrassment was recently discussed (again) here.
But Justice Sotomayor recently used an appearance at the University of Kansas School of Law to insult fellow Court member Bret Kavanaugh using the favorite leftist cheap-shot, attacking his “privilege” as an ad hominem approach avoiding a substantive argument regarding the law. Sonia has neither the wit nor legal acumen to debate Kavanaugh on the merits.
Sotomayor was referencing a Supreme Court stay of a partisan judge’s order preventing I.C.E. agents in the Los Angeles area from stopping and questioning individuals suspected of being illegal aliens. Kavanaugh, agreeing with the Court’s stay, wrote in part,
Ethics Alarms 
The more I think about Justice Sotomayor’s comment about her fellow Supreme Court Justice the more I’m convinced that the elitist pompous ass Justice Sotomayor is a moron. She opened her mouth and shoved her foot in her mouth so far that her knee disappeared behind her elitist teeth. What a pompous ass moron!
I’m guessing the next time she opens her mouth in relation to this Justice Kavanaugh character smear will likely be to rationalize her words, essentially opening her mouth to change socks.
A straight up #1 apology from Justice Sotomayor using this Apology Scale is her ONLY ethical follow up remark.
Are you kidding me? Who’s benefitted more from privilege being a multiple minority oppressed person: the Preppie or the Wise Latina? You’re the privileged one, sweetheart. And anyway, isn’t Kavanaugh a practicing Catholic of Irish descent? So, he’s a white, Irishman, a WIM, not a WASP. Big difference. If you’re not a WASP, you’re not a WASP.
Non-U.S. citizens aged 18+ are legally required to carry proof of immigration status (e.g., green card, EAD, I-94, or passport with stamp) at all times. Failure to carry these documents is a federal misdemeanor, which can lead to a fine or up to 30 days in jail. U.S. citizens are not required to carry proof of citizenship. (Source: Google AI). But if you are a U.S. citizen it would be nice if you could show some ID such as a pass card or Real ID. This will definitely speed up any encounter with ICE and other LEO.
A justice needs to take these practical considerations into account before resorting to vapid progressive talking points about privilege.
