U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said Monday she feels daily “frustration” as conservative justices move the country to the ideological right.
In an appearance at the University of California, Berkely School of Law, Sotomayor was asked how she copes with the consistently conservative rulings from the court.
“Every loss truly traumatizes me,” but “I get up the next morning,” she said in response to the question, The San Francisco Chronicle reported. The crowd — about 1,300 students — applauded.
In her remarks, she criticized her “originalist colleagues” whom she said have come up with “new ways to interpret the Constitution,” changing rulings “that some of us believed were well established,” the Chronicle reported.
The 6-3 conservative court has had an eventful couple of terms, making its mark on some of the most consequential aspects of everyday life — from overturning the federal right to an abortion to ruling affirmative action in colleges unconstitutional.
I hope you don’t mind me asking, but what is it with your username?
It is just a generated string of letters and characters.
Yeah that much is obvious. I’m just surprised you’re actually satisfied with it and using that name.
I don’t keep this account as a personal thing. It doesn’t matter to me as I’m not building relationships or anything so I’m happy with the minimal amount of effort I put into creating the name.
Fair enough, though it seems like going out in public wearing a clown outfit. If you like clowns you may be okay with it, but you’d still stand out when no one else is wearing a clown outfit.
Thanks for replying/explanation.
