Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has publicly apologized for her bizarre accusation that her colleague, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, was out of touch due to his upbringing as a professional. The comments were made during an event at the University of Kansas School of Law. Although she did not mention Kavanaugh by name, she referred to another justice who had sided with the Trump administration on an immigration case. Sominayor also criticized the majority's use of the so-called "shadow docket" in favor of the policies of the administration. She released an apology calling the comments "inappropriate".
