U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said Monday she feels daily “frustration” as conservative justices move the country to the ideological right.
In an appearance at the University of California, Berkely School of Law, Sotomayor was asked how she copes with the consistently conservative rulings from the court.
“Every loss truly traumatizes me,” but “I get up the next morning,” she said in response to the question, The San Francisco Chronicle reported. The crowd — about 1,300 students — applauded.
In her remarks, she criticized her “originalist colleagues” whom she said have come up with “new ways to interpret the Constitution,” changing rulings “that some of us believed were well established,” the Chronicle reported.
The 6-3 conservative court has had an eventful couple of terms, making its mark on some of the most consequential aspects of everyday life — from overturning the federal right to an abortion to ruling affirmative action in colleges unconstitutional.
You really didn’t answer me though… You really think we’ve solved the cannabis issue in the US? What world do you live in?
Ahh, there’s the misunderstanding.
I never said we “solved” the cannabis issue. If you disagree, please quote where you think otherwise.
I stand by my point. You need to improve your reading comprehension.
You said “look at what we did with marijuana,” and the context was very clear.
So I asked what we did with marijuana that is so notable? Because I don’t consider a handful of states explicitly breaking federal law and as such not even able to use banks, as any kind of solution whatsoever.
I don’t think you ever gave a sufficient answer.
You can try to move the goalposts after the fact, but the implication was very clear.
