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 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.
