Sotomayor says she hopes Supreme Court will overturn presidential immunity decision

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said on Saturday that she hopes the court’s decision granting former presidents broad criminal immunity will be overturned, saying her colleagues have done some “crazy things.”
Appearing for a civics education talk at George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate, the liberal justice also publicly commented for the first time on this week’s midterm contests, when Democrats swept control of both chambers of Congress.
quote:
“There have been some systemic changes in my court’s jurisprudence in many areas of law,” Sotomayor said. “We’ll settle down, too. Not quite sure when. But we will. And a new order will be established that people will begin to understand.”

“I dissent a lot. I’m hoping that the court will take back some of the crazy things that it’s done. I’m only joking — maybe not,” Sotomayor told the crowd on Saturday.
“No, seriously,” she continued. “You know, I’ve spoken openly about this, there’s some opinions that I hope in my lifetime will get overturned. The immunity case is one of them.”

This is telling. With as much political capital the Dems used against Trump during Biden's term, it's clear that they have no qualms with using their power to punish. It's really too bad you worthless Republicans are so afraid to do the same.
There is one silver lining. I see Hakeem Jeffries already talking about impeaching Hegseth. This is actually a positive development if you're a Trump fan and I'll tell you why. The Dems have not learned from their mistakes last time. If they spend the next 2 years investigating and punishing members of the Trump admin, their blue wave power will be fleeting, and JD should have a clearer path to the white house.

Besides the presidential race in 2028, can you get back to us about which democrat senator can be ousted in these deep blue and now freshly blue states. This will not turn quickly.

If so, Obama and Biden are in big trouble.

Sorry but hell no to JD. Ron DeSantis needs to be the nominee.

I think it should be overturned
And it should be retroactive for all former presidents
Why would we want to excuse criminal behavior from the executive branch?

Which is why it's puzzling why anyone would be against it

She won't want that, grandfathered in up to Biden.

This is telling you that the words in the Constitution are not nearly as important as the people who get to tell you what they mean.

Probably. It either needs to start with the 28 term or be completely retroactive IMO
Posted on 11/8/26 at 10:23 am to Jbird
Agree. Barack needs to pay for his actions.
Posted on 11/8/26 at 10:24 am to Jbird
She's totally unbiased ya'll.

You don't get it. Reversing the ruling will get Trump who will be prosecuted by Obama/Biden type people.
And Sotomayor is signaling the New Democrats to bring it on. Conservatives on the court will be put under extreme pressure pretty soon. Remember the Elissa Slokin color revolution topic?

The presidential immunity is indefensible and very difficult too apply with any rationality.
She’s right about that one.

She’s such a tub of goo

We need our own Judge Friesler. You want that.

There was just no way for us to know that democrats who said they would politically prosecute Republicans would politically prosecute Republicans.

Agree but he is getting bent over hard. It’s the other things that he will compromise on that will be concerning.
Stay tuned kids! Much more to come.
