Sonia Sotomayor

happen.

Sotomayor and Jackson would find a way to gavel in favor of that.

Or like another one.

Byron said he wanted to ban H-1B visas.

So I truly hope that they wake up and they bec- if they win, that they become aggressive enough, just like the Republicans have been, and make something happen.

I mean, my fear is that the person who ends up leaving the court is not either Alito or, uh, Thomas, that it ends up being Sonia Sotomayor.

Like, my...

I, I feel as anxious about Sotomayor as I did about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, where I'm like, "You better be taking all of your vitamins-

Yeah.

It's a domino effect with everything.

But you, you kinda shook me up right now, because I wasn't even thinking of Sonia Sotomayor, and I remember reading that she was having a few health issues, you know what I mean?

She's 72.

And then secondly, you mentioned the shadow docket.

One of the things that Suk points out is that a shadow court could seize on some of these incomprehensible and shocking shadow docket decisions that the majority is making now and say we're going to write a full opinion on why this is wrong we're not going to let the court get away with doing you know 10 lines uh or and and all of the uh burden of dissenting shouldn't fall on the shoulders of Justice Jackson or Justice Sotomayor.

Here's why this shadow docket decision is wrong.

Here's why the court was wrong to do this on the shadow docket instead of the merits docket.

And then you have on the dissenting side, the three women saying, who always write really eloquent and well-reasoned dissents that are very powerful.

So a shadow court would give them oxygen and give these women a bigger voice, wouldn't it?

Yes, I think that's really important because one thing that is going on in constitutional debate right now is an attempt to sort of marginalize Justice Jackson, Justice Sotomayor.

Justice Kagan is a different proposition, but Jackson and Sotomayor have taken on the mission of witnessing their vision of keeping faith with the Constitution.

There's the Tulsa Flyer arm, there's the Oklahoma Eagle, there's La Semana, there's Focus.

All of these things come together to be this digital newsroom and they have a story from jenny graham formerly of the tulsa world i really enjoy her work but she covered an appearance by a supreme court justice sonia sotomayor it was at the university of oklahoma she was speaking at the judge stephanie k seymour lecture series sponsored by the northern eastern oklahoma chapter of the federal bar association And the headline, ignorance of civics in government is the biggest U.S. threat, says Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor.

And a couple of the quotes I want to read you here.

Well, now I don't always write, I respectfully dissent, as she said.

They do not understand what our system of government presumes.

Some of my colleagues don't either, by the way, and I'm not joking about that.

wow, Grant, throwing bombs, Sonia Sotomayor.

What do you
