After telling an audience at Mount Vernon that “we saw the outpouring of voters in on Tuesday,” Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor told them that she hoped to see the reversal of various conservative opinions starting with the presidential immunity decision in Trump v. United States.
Speaking at the historic home of George Washington, Justice Sotomayor described her (presumably) conservative colleagues as doing some “crazy things.”
She observed that “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.”
She then specifically turned to the court’s 6-3 decision along ideological lines that former presidents enjoy at least presumptive immunity for their official acts. In her dissent, Sotomayor portrayed the decision as bestowing imperial power, noting that it made President Trump and his successors a “king above the law.”
She told the crowd that “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…No, seriously, 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.”
As I discuss in my column on the Democratic effort to effectively nullify the Electoral College without a constitutional amendment, there is a series of changes being sought to impact the 2028 election. With Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito pushing 80, liberals could secure a majority in the next Administration without carrying out their plan to pack the Court.
If that happens, Justice Sotomayor appears ready to reverse a series of opinions that she deems “crazy” from her conservative justices.

This is an illustration of my comment on the political nature of the Supreme Court Justices that they reveal in their decisions and speeches.
