Let me guess….now that Justice Sonia Sotomayor is caught using her staff to help sell books, Supreme Court ethics matter, Justice John Roberts should reverse his 2011 decision to not have any ethics rules at all for justices, and she should be disbarred, right?
But not the MAGA judges who all took tens of millions in free gifts from people with cases before the court, who have completely delegitimized the court and damaged its reputation beyond repair.

FYI-

Double the expected jobs, 1/3 of the expected inflation. Those revised job numbers you said would go down went up. Revised July (2nd quarter) GDP is 2.3%, well above predictions of .5%-.9%. Also, wages are now outpacing inflation by 1.6% and rising! Ready to go blue? 😂

PS- Ray Epps is now sueing Fox for slander for accusing him of being the leader of an fbi plot to cause Jan 6 and frame MAGA, even though they knew he was MAGA with no ties to any federal organization, not fbi, cia, oss, or irs. He hired the lawyer that Dominion used, and has the testimony of Abby Grosberg, Tucker’s ex senior executive producer…so expect another 8 figure settlement for more MAGA lies.

Latino isn't a race, it's a demonym. Latinos can be of any race or combination of races. Cameron Diaz, Sammy Davis Jr, Fernanda Takai, Sonia Sotomayor... all Latinos.

We don't know if he's guilty or innocent; we only know the case for guilty could not be adequately made. He is presumed innocent on that basis.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Hmm. Yeah, I see what you mean. We seem to be doomed to be constantly debating the snuff rule. Even when we nail it down in the guidelines there's a lot of leeway for interpretation. Look at it this way - Lucky is like Sonia Sotomayor and I'm Ruth Ginsburg - and you're um ... Johnny Cochran - no wait, he's dead - Your're Matlock ... You state your case and we look at precedence, I don't want to go against Sonia - maybe I would fall on the other side of the line on that last case, but there's no way Ruth Ginsberg is going to second guess Sonia Sotomayor - even if you are Johnny Cochran, or Matlock - or whatever.

I hope that's clear - the point I'm trying to make is ... we probably need to be consistent on these things, but it's tough.

This one goes out to all the serbians
And also the ladies
But mostly the Serbians

JB: And until the Serbian people
Look themselves in the face
Understand what their leaders have done
And convinced them of
Until that moment arrives
Serbian people will not
Be able to shed this notion of victimization
That all of their leaders prey upon
And manipulate them with
Until that moment arrives
Until the Serbian people look themselves in the face
Until that moment arrives
Until that moment arriiiiiiiiives

KC: April showers bring May flowers
But what do May flowers bring?
AG: Romance for a shawty
KC: Possibly lead poisoning
AG: ::Barf::
KC: Lead poisoning
AG: ::Barf, barf:: I'm gettin sick like
::Barf, barf, barf, barf, barf::
KC: Before you dig in and start to enjoy all the
Fruits and vegetables of your labor
AG: Shawty
KC: You'd better get your soil tested first

AG: Oh, I live in the ghetto
So I'll expect the worst
KC: Paint chippings and old pesticides

NG: This bill actually has the secretary of energy
Regulating jacuzzis
Now, the ideastrikes me
As close to being nuts

AG: I agree--I'm an angry gorilla and that makes me angry

JI: The only jacuzzis this will regulate
Will have to produce 2,500 mega watts of energy

AG: You made me angry with lies
Hurt my angry gorilla pride; I'm angry

NG: On page 233, uh
Line 5: portable electric spas

All: Portable electric spas!

MG: No spa is above the law!

NG: Now, I don't know what a portable electric spa is
I was told it was a jacuzzi
But that's in this bill

AG: So it's true!
I'm no longer angry at you
My original anger's renewed

JI: We will give you a hot spa
That is energy efficient
I hope that doesn't offend you

AG: He might have a point
My anger's makin a switch
Cuz you're being a little b*$&
But maybe not
Maybe you're just defending freedom and justice for jacuzzis
ohhhhhh
What's this? a single tear that is wet that i shed

When an angry gorilla cries
Who's gonna be there to dry his eyes?
And when an angry gorilla's depressed
Who's gonna heal him with a soft caress?
Ooh ooh ah ah, the tears are rolling down my cheeks
Ooh ooh ah ah, liquid sorrow that my eyes excrete

And I'm a soulja, but a soulja's got feelings,
Don't know whom to lend my anger to,
And that's why I'm crestfallen and confused

Here's her quote:
“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion [as a judge] than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”—Judge Sonia Sotomayor, in her Judge Mario G. Olmos Law and Cultural Diversity Lecture at the University of California (Berkeley) School of Law in 2001


Taken out of context, no surprise, coming from you.

Here's a little better snapshot of her sentiments:

Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences, a possibility I abhor less or discount less than my colleague Judge Cedarbaum, our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging. Justice O'Connor has often been cited as saying that a wise old man and wise old woman will reach the same conclusion in deciding cases. I am not so sure Justice O'Connor is the author of that line since Professor Resnik attributes that line to Supreme Court Justice Coyle. I am also not so sure that I agree with the statement. First, as Professor Martha Minnow has noted, there can never be a universal definition of wise. Second, 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 who hasn't lived that life.

Let us not forget that wise men like Oliver Wendell Holmes and Justice Cardozo voted on cases which upheld both sex and race discrimination in our society. Until 1972, no Supreme Court case ever upheld the claim of a woman in a gender discrimination case. I, like Professor Carter, believe that we should not be so myopic as to believe that others of different experiences or backgrounds are incapable of understanding the values and needs of people from a different group. Many are so capable. As Judge Cedarbaum pointed out to me, nine white men on the Supreme Court in the past have done so on many occasions and on many issues including Brown.
