Justice Sotomayor ‘paraded her scientific ignorance' in questioning during oral arguments on Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health |
2021-12-09 |
[AmericanThinker] Sonia Sotomayor, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, raised eyebrows and cast doubt on her fitness for her elevated office during oral arguments over the pending Mississippi abortion case, Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health. Constitutional scholars were taken aback by her injection of politics: "Will this institution survive the stench that this creates in the public perception — that the Constitution and its reading are just political acts?" Sotomayor asked. "I don’t see how it is possible." And her casual rejection of the Constitution as the arbiter of Supreme Court decision-making: Justice Sonia Sotomayor even said at one point that the Supreme Court comes up with decisions all the time that aren’t directly grounded in the Constitution. This is a line of argument that, if taken seriously, would justify the Supreme Court swinging free of all restraint and rewriting the nation’s laws on the fly. But for sheer wrong-headedness, you can’t top the "misinformation" (to use a term the progs currently favor when trying to censor) that she spouted on fetal development.

#5 She just proved why the current method of choosing and length of term on the bench is so broken. |

#4 Justice Sonia Sotomayor even said at one point that the Supreme Court comes up with decisions all the time that aren’t directly grounded in the Constitution. Then those members of SCOTUS who sit for life and unaccountable to the people demonstrate that it is neither a republic or democracy but the oligarchy it has been for decades. |

#3 When you have no logical constitutional argument then you say what she said. No worries. I am sure Chief Justice Roberts will come up with some crazy notion like fetus’ do not count on 1040 IRS forms so we can…… |
