    Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a dissenting opinion Friday accusing her conservative colleagues of having a bias toward the Trump administration after the court voted to 5–4 to uphold the administration’s public charge rule, which critics call a “wealth test” for legal immigrants. “Today’s decision follows a now-familiar pattern,” Sotomayor began. “The Government seeks emergency relief from this Court, asking it to grant a stay where two lower courts have not. The Government insists—even though review in a court of appeals is imminent—that it will suffer irreparable harm if this Court does not grant a stay. And the Court yields.”

    The policy in question, the Immigration and Nationality Act, makes immigrants who are “likely at any time to become a public charge” ineligible for green cards. The policy virtually bars legal immigrants from using public assistance, including Medicaid, housing vouchers and food stamps. The five conservative justices ruled in favor of the stay, while the liberal justices — including Sotomayor — opposed it.

    The biggest irony here is that Sotomayor is the most left leaning justice on the court-even further left than RBG.

    And as is so often seen with lefties-she resorts to smear tactics against her own colleagues.

    If Sotomayor is so concerned she should step down-its the right thing to do.

    The SCOTUS has been stabbing, goring, and skinning working citizens forever. It's great to see that tide of "let's see how much more we can steal from them" go out.

    Sotomayer "step down"? :roflol:

    Good luck with that. :bored:

    The thing IS:

    She is 100% CORRECT.

    The SCOTUS has become just another Rubber Stamp for the Trump Administrations Draconian Policies.


    If anybody should step down, we could start with:

    Clarence "Long Dong Silver" Thomas.

    And Bart "get 'em drunk and rape 'em" Kavanaugh.

    Sotomayer "step down"? :roflol: :bored:

    This has been an immigration policy for some time at least for an immigrant that is sponsored.

    There IS a pattern. The left keeps filing unconstitutional suits and the president keeps winning.

    Thomas may step down after Trumps re election.

    Trump has some impressive picks already in line.

    Anyone over 40 may never see a leftist SCOTUS again.

    Strange; when Roberts rolled over for Barack with that ILLEGAL ObamaCare ruling I don't recall the leftist HOWLING that the Supreme Court was displaying bias in favor of the Obama Administration.

    She could be the last unqualified leftists for many years to follow to be GIVEN a supreme court position simply because she is a leftist. What a tragedy in the making!

    Actually, Thomas should consider stepping down right now and let Trump appoint a 40-year-old.
    Why even take the chance of Trump losing?

    With a Moral Compass like Bart? Cool.


    Obviously, that will be the case if Trump wins again.

    Its unlikely Trump will lose.

    Brett Kavanaugh was a good pick-but there are far better choices to come-some quite young btw.

    RBG will soon be gone and Trump will get that pick as well as 1-2 more. It's a great time for The Constitution. This will keep America strong until Democrats find away to destroy it.

    Isn't Judge Amy at the Top of the List?

    I honestly don't care who he picks.

    If he gets re-elected, the SC will be a disaster for (at least) the next 50 years.

    She's on the list but she's not the top pick.

    She gets the most attention because she's anti abortion like Kavanaugh.

    But that list has been quietly growing.

    The Constitution is a barrier to the left.

    Hopefully it will hold back the (literal) leftist hoards for another 40 years.

    Always has been. It is why they attack it so often and want it destroyed.

    You mean we should expect immigrants to have a certain amount of capital, like oh, every country Liberals claim we should be more like?

    I knew from the title when Sotomayor was upset something good had happened.

    What does she gain by flinging poo at the court majority?
