Sotomayor Blows Her Top

Filthy scorched pot points bony finger at bright copper kettle.

Sotomayor issues blistering dissent, says Republican-appointed justices have bias toward Trump administration

The "Wise Latina" as she has styled herself was Obama's wing woman during his reign of error and now she doesn't like being outnumbered by originalist jurists.

She is only on the Court because she is Hispanic. She did not receive great marks as a jurist and was known as a bully who abused plaintiffs and lawyers with whom she disagreed politically.

From the article:

"It is hard to say what is more troubling: that the Government would seek this extraordinary relief seemingly as a matter of course, or that the Court would grant it," Sotomayor wrote in her dissent.

This particular case, Wolf v. Cook County, deals with the Trump administration's expansion of situations where the government can deny visas to non-citizens looking to enter the U.S. Federal law already says that officials can take into account whether an applicant is likely to become a "public charge," which government guidance has said refers to someone "primarily dependent on the government for subsistence.” In the past, non-cash benefits such as forms of Medicaidand certain housing assistance did not count, but the Department of Homeland Security issued its new public charge rule in 2019 which did include these benefits.

The new rule had previously beenblocked with a nationwide injunction that the Supreme Court stayed in a separate case, so the injunction in the Cook County case only affected the state of Illinois.

That narrow scope, plus the fact that the 7th Circuit is scheduled to review the Illinois injunction in the coming week, led Sotomayor to believe that the government was not at risk of suffering significant harm that warranted the Supreme Court putting the injunction on hold.

The liberal justiceexpressed concern that a majority of her colleagues had no problem with this. Sheexplained that it is unusual for an administration to seek stays against injunctions with this sort of frequency, yet it is becoming the new normal.

"Claiming one emergency after another, the Government has recently sought stays in an unprecedented number of cases, demanding immediate attention and consuming limited Court resources in each," she wrote. "And with each successive application, of course, its cries of urgency ring increasingly hollow. Indeed, its behavior relating to the public-charge rule in particular shows how much its own definition of irreparable harm has shifted.”

That my dear is because the judiciary was politicized and weaponized by the man who appointed you to your seat. Your SCOTUS colleagues are forever having to overturn activist judicial decisions by lower courts, decisions that they have no right to make.

It is unquestionably clear the President has a right to decide the terms under which aliens - especially illegal aliens - are allowed to stay in the country. This was never a judicial matter. I think this puta knows it, too.

What's the matter, Sonya or girl?  You liberals have had your way for a long time and now you are finding you can't advance your radical agendas anymore and you don't like it. Tough!  WE in Middle America haven't liked what you have rammed down our throats over the years. You are not legislators, though you have done a good job of usurping the authority. (That is precisely what was done here; a court usurped the authority of the President and the legal code.)

This should lead to the "Wise Latina" being ostricized by the rest of the Court. It is a horrible breech of editquette; Justices don't air dirty laundry. The rest of the Court should snub her for this.

Maybe she'll get frustrated and resign! At least we know she's probably at home bawling like the rotten little child that she is.
