Sotomayor on the Supreme Court: ‘We have to rise above partisanship’Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor say they're worried about how the bitter partisan battle over the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh will affect the high court’s reputation. Yes, nonpartisan, as when Justice Ginsburg made a personal criticism of Donald Trump in her USSC Chambers. Nice sentiment. Can't wait to see the body language when the SCOTUS 'class picture' is taken this session. We're now in a place where John Roberts is the swing vote. Think about that. Tell that to Republicans. They gave us the most divisive and partisan POTUS in modern history. Also, does anyone remember how Republicans treated Merrick Garland?
