SCOTUS Seyz Sorry At Rock Chalk Event

We notice a bit of reflection for this "wise Latina" regarding obvious and worsening conflicts amongst her colleagues . . . Check-it: 

(Justice) Sotomayor insinuated fellow Justice Brett Kavanaugh didn’t know working class people and, therefore, couldn’t understand the ramifications of his decision in the pivotal case that allowed federal immigration officers in California to continue stopping people based on race, ethnicity, native language, location and occupation. However, she did not mention Kavanaugh by name.

“There are some people who can’t understand our experiences, even when you tell them,” Sotomayor said. “I had a colleague in that case who wrote, you know, these are only temporary stops. This is from a man whose parents were professionals and probably doesn’t really know any person who works by the hour or the piece like I do.”

Sotomayor appeared on April 7 at the University of Kansas in Lawrence alongside KU alumni and twin sisters Janet and Mary Murguia, who asked the justice about her experience as a Latina and her thoughts on the case Noem v. Perdomo, in which she and the court’s two other liberal justices dissented. Kavanaugh concurred with the majority and wrote that immigration enforcement stops for legal immigrants are “typically brief, and those individuals may promptly go free” upon proving citizenship or legal status.

“At a recent appearance at the University of Kansas School of Law, I referred to a disagreement with one of my colleagues in a prior case, but I made remarks that were inappropriate,” Sotomayor said in a statement from the court. “I regret my hurtful comments. I have apologized to my colleague.”
