I am not even American but I do find that slightly worrying!

Obummer appointed, nuff said.

It's called the Tenth Amendment.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

So much for wise Latina.....

I'd recommend checking the context of this before sending to your lib friends, because they certainly will check it for you. It's possible she meant "... But the federal government wouldn't [have power] for this particular issue."

Or it's possible she really is this stupid, but either way quotes like this must be researched.

Moronic clown in a black robe.

I have no words for justices that are unable to comprehend basic law.

She should be cleaning the windows of that building, and mopping floors.

Literally a complete moron.

Weird how the one Biden appointed doesn't know what a woman is and this one, appointed by Obama, doesn't even know our Constitution. What a joke, these commies are, and they aren't even hiding it.

Dumb ass!

She NEVER should have been made a SCJ.

Ask her, did the States create the Federal Government or did the Federal Government create the States? She is too ignorant to be justice.

She'll be the next justice to kick the bucket

Health is not good.

Is she this stupid????

Her qualifications were “wise Latina”

That’s it

Chosen for her wisdom.

Liberal plant.

That is truly the epitome of what's wrong in this country. Wise Latina = stupid and uneducated.

Wow...if this is an actual quote said by her, then it's truly unbelievable that a SC judge would say this.

Our country is just so negatively impacted by diversity hires in every field.

Stupid ass diversity hire.

Any sauce on this?

It's as if there was a sign that read, "Idiots: Apply here!" It is totally mind boggling that there is such mind set diversity between citizens/nationalists of the very same country!!!
