CNN —Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor opened up on Monday about the “frustration” she said she experiences daily as the high court’s conservative supermajority continues to move the country further to the right.
And as you heard, every loss truly traumatizes me in my stomach and in my heart.
During Monday’s event, Sotomayor waded into other topics related to the court, including the impact of oral arguments on a justice’s vote.
At one point, she criticized some criminal defense attorneys who she said have occasionally done a poor job of advocating before the high court.
Because by the time you come to the Supreme Court, it’s not about your client anymore.
