Of course, hospitalization statistics aren’t actually relevant to the case before the court. Sotomayor made a colossal mistake; she really didn’t need to be offering any statistics at all, correct or not. As a Supreme Court justice, the issue before her and her fellow members on the bench is the constitutionality of Biden’s mandates, not whether the severity of the disease justifies measures taken by the government to mitigate it.
But even that seems to be lost on Sotomayor. The issue of the entire case is whether the federal government has the authority to impose a vaccine mandate.
“I’m not sure I understand the distinction why the states would have the power [to institute a mandate such as OSHA’s], but the federal government wouldn’t,” Sotomayor said during oral arguments.
Apparently, the Obama-nominated justice doesn’t know about the Tenth Amendment, which states that “the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”
How is it possible she doesn’t understand the Tenth Amendment? Well, it appears that Harvard law professor Larry Tribe actually warned Barack Obama not to nominate Sotomayor to the Supreme Court back in 2009. “If you were to appoint someone like Sonia Sotomayor, whose personal history and demographic appeal you don’t need me to underscore, I am concerned that the impact within the Court would be negative in these respects,” Tribe wrote in his letter to Obama after Justice Souter retired. “Bluntly put, she’s not nearly as smart as she seems to think she is.”
