In Highly Unusual Move, Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor Apologizes For Attack on Brett Kavanaugh

Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor apologized for her nasty attack on fellow justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Last week Sotomayor took a shot at Kavanaugh during remarks at the University of Kansas.

The left-wing Obama appointee suggested Kavanaugh had a privileged upbringing when she referenced his opinion on an immigration case.

“I had a colleague in that case who wrote, you know, these are only temporary stops,” Sotomayor said, according to a Bloomberg report.

“This is from a man whose parents were professionals. And probably doesn’t really know any person who works by the hour,” Sotomayor said.

Sotomayor issued a rare apology on Wednesday and said her public attack on Kavanaugh was “inappropriate.”

CNN reported:

Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a highly unusual public apology to a colleague Wednesday, saying her criticism of Justice Brett Kavanaugh was unfair.

“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 the statement. “I regret my hurtful comments.

“I have apologized to my colleague.”

Sotomayor’s statement followed comments she made last week at the University of Kansas School of Law in which she criticized Kavanaugh for his concurring opinion in a high-profile emergency immigration case dealing with ICE patrols — an exceedingly rare and personal comment directed at one justice by another.

Last September, the Supreme Court sided with President Trump and allowed his administration to continue sweeping immigration raids.

The Supreme Court weighed in after a far-left Biden judge sided with the anti-American ACLU’s plaintiffs and temporarily blocked President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security agents from raiding Home Depots, car washes and other places in the Los Angeles area (7 counties in the Central District of California) unless they have reasonable suspicion that there is a violation of immigration laws.

Sotomayor fumed in her dissenting opinion.

“We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job,” Sotomayor wrote.

“Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent,” Sotomayor wrote.
