Sotomayor accused of undermining 'integrity' of Supreme Court

A Barack Obama appointee to the Supreme Court and one of its most dedicated leftist ideologues, is "Undermining" the integrity of the court by speaking out on pending issues - and then encouraging other activists to go out and change the law.

The high court recently decided 5-4 to let the state law take effect.

"Despite my long criticism of this trend, I was still taken aback by comments of Justice Sonia Sotomayor at an event organized by the American Bar Association. In her comments, Sotomayor appeared to call for political campaigns and discussed a matter just before the court."

Is Justice Sotomayor undermining the integrity of the Supreme Court?

He explained, "Sotomayor then turned to the recent court decision not to intervene in the Texas abortion case. Sotomayor wrote a heated dissent in Whole Woman Health v. Jackson. After criticizing her colleagues for their 'stunning' decision, she called on students to politically oppose the law."

He went on, "Now that Sotomayor has called for political action and lobbying against the law, there may be calls for her to recuse herself though she is unlikely to do so. What is most striking is how Sotomayor's words has received praise and virtually no criticism from the left. Professors and writers have been calling for the packing of the court due to what they describe as a politically active majority on the right of the court. Here is a justice calling directly for political action to change a law being appealed to the Supreme Court. Yet, there is not a peep of protest from figures like Dean Erwin Chemerinsky that the conservatives on the court are a bunch of 'political hacks'."

He said, "This type of commentary undermines the integrity of the court in dealing with opinions with tremendous impact on all citizens. They have a right to expect justices to speak through their opinions and refrain from such public political remarks, particularly on matters before or coming to the court."
