Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has described being on the highest court in the land as living in frustration, saying that every loss the liberal justices face “traumatises” her.
As one of the three liberal justices on the court, Justice Sotomayor and her colleagues can typically anticipate they will be outnumbered when deciding cases.
“Every loss truly traumatises me in my stomach and in my heart,” Justice Sotomayor said on Monday while speaking with students at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law.

The Constitution is the Constitution. There shouldn't be 'losses' and 'wins' to your political side. It should be just reading the Constitution. However, when Justice Sotomayor is out ruled, she calls them losses. And she says the losses traumatize her. Yes .. she used that word. She is traumatized working on the Supreme Court. Kinda sounds like she can't handle the job and should resign. Heck, she should resign for her comments that 'race matters' when ruling, that's really bad ... but at any rate, she shouldn't be in the SCOTUS, IMHO.

Looks like they might try to pack the Court.

She is not a constitutionalist, just a progressive. When she was picked she hit every box but the important one, being a smart exceptional judge. It was 9 to 0 in favor of Trump, so what is she talking about, it is actually 6 to 4 so one shift to the left and it is 5 to 5. If it was 6 to 4 with liberals 6 they would be screaming life is good, SC is great...
