Her comments at Berkley are very concerning, she admits her politics play a role in her court decisions. Politics should have no bearing on the Constitution, it says what it says and is the Supreme Law of the land.
Sotomayor spoke at the University of California Berkley Law school on Monday and said she lived in "frustration" among a conservative-leaning Supreme Court.
"I live in frustration. And as you heard, every loss truly traumatizes me in my stomach and in my heart. But I have to get up the next morning and keep on fighting," Sotomayor said.
"And to be almost 70 years old, this isn’t what I expected," she reportedly added during a conversation with UC Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky. "But it is still work that is all consuming and I understand the impact the court has on people and on the country, and sometimes the world. And so it is what keeps me going."
