Lets review Sotomayor's performance at the oral arguments today
🧠 These people are stupid!
https://twitter.com/ishapiro/status/1479481622315606021?s=21 Sotomayor claims not to understand distinction between state and federal power. Mind-boggling. Calls OSHA's regulatory authority to be a "police power." OH SG tries to explain con law 101, eventually Roberts rescues the embarrassing discourse.
https://twitter.com/shannonbream/status/1479480779747045381?s=21 J. Sotomayor says Omicron is as deadly as Delta.
https://twitter.com/shannonbream/status/1479480866887933956?s=21 J. Sotomayor says over 100K children in serious condition, "many on ventilators"
https://twitter.com/kerpen/status/1479475073014710275?s=21 Sotomayor: "Why is a human not like a machine when it is spewing bloodborne (!) viruses?"
Incredible performance all around.
I know we're being sarcastic and guffawing about.
But I'm truly fucking disgusted. The fact that not one person in that court said anything about her just straight up lying is reprehensible.
I understand where you're coming from, but in her case I don't think she is necessarily lying, I think she is not very bright (many people's opinion) and is truly TERRIFIED of Covid (and let's be honest, at her age, weight AND a comorbidity - Diabetes 1, she probably should be). She probably read that 100k number in some liberal rag uncritically and took at face value.

Except she is a supreme court justice. As I listen to these court proceedings at this point its not even just the lawyers that are lying, its the judges interjecting with their own false commentary.
