The New York Post Gets Slammed For BLATANT Race-Baiting Headline
November 19, 2018I’m no fan of Justice Sonia Sotomayor, but I’m quite impressed with her recent display of professionalism.
She– as well as the rest of the Court– followed the complete sh*tshow that was Kavanaugh’s confirmation process. But instead of acting like a partisan sketchball, she welcomed him to the “Supreme Court Family” with open arms.
“It was Justice [Clarence] Thomas who tells me that when he first came to the Court, another justice approached him and said, ‘I judge you by what you do here. Welcome.’ And I repeated that story to Justice Kavanaugh when I first greeted him here,” she told David Axelrod.
I love that. It’s more than appropriate.
“When you’re charged with working together for most of the remainder of your life, you have to create a relationship,” she said. “The nine of us are now a family and we’re a family with each of us [having] our own burdens and our own obligations to others, but this is our work family, and it’s just as important as our personal family.”
That’s really great to hear. I love reading stories about RGB’s friendship with Scalia. Those serve as a reminder that you can disagree on a lot but still connect with someone on a human level and build a relationship based on things OTHER than politics. It’s possible.
“We all have families we love, we all care about others, we care about our country, and we care when people are injured,” she continued. “And unfortunately, the current conversation often forgets that. It forgets our commonalities and focuses on superficial differences whether those are language or how people look or the same God they pray to but in different ways.”
“Those differences truly are not important,” she added. “What is important is those human values we share and those human feelings that we share. But I worry that we forget about that too often.”
It’s truly a great reminder. I’m glad to hear the liberal Justices (or at least ONE of them), are welcoming Kavanaugh and treating him fairly right off the bat.
