They hate that they aren't getting their way.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor: Supreme Court 'putting a thumb on the scale' for Trump

Justice Sonia Sotomayor said she is concerned the Supreme Court is going out of its way to help the Trump administration.

The high court voted along ideological lines on Friday to grant the Trump administration's demand for an emergency request to stay an injunction in an Illinois case regarding the restriction of low-income immigrants from entering the United States. Sotomayor wrote in an opinion that her conservative colleagues on the Supreme Court, who have the majority, are “putting a thumb on the scale in favor of” the Trump administration.

“It is hard to say what is more troubling,” Sotomayor wrote on Friday. “That the government would seek this extraordinary relief seemingly as a matter of course, or that the Court would grant it.”

...
Sotomayor, an Obama appointee, criticized what she described as a troubling pattern of the conservative justices ruling in favor of the Trump administration without looking at these cases in an objective manner.


NEWSFLASH: We voted for this. It is absolutely fair.

The justices are permitted to agree or disagree with their colleagues. Expressing concern does not equate to whining.

Why are you so bothered?

She is nothing but an affirmative action hire. Also she is a political hack.

A Princeton/Yale Law grad is an affirmative action hire? Do tell us where you attended university for your first and second degrees.

Still waiting for your answer. Where did you attend school for your first and second degrees?

She was valedictorian at her high school. What were you? Were you even in the top 10 percent? 20 percent?

Of course. Because affirmative action makes sure that the best students are not excluded by jealous, hateful whites. Still waiting for your answer. Did you perform better than her academically?

Or this your jealousy and hate talking?

LOL, Right, copy after Trump's disgusting behavior! I doubt she needs to stoop down to Trump's level, though. What good would it do her to copy after Trump and call him "human scum"?
