In an interview with Breitbart News Sunday, Sen. Tom Cotton said Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor was projecting when she accused GOP-appointed judges of siding with the Trump administration.
Sotomayor dissented with the Supreme court’s decision in Wolf v. Cook County upholding government authority to restrict immigration from foreigners who would become financial burdens on taxpayers.
“I’ve read her dissent, and this is a classic example of the president’s critics and opponents projecting onto him exactly what they and the other critics are doing,” the Republican Cotton said.
“So she accused the Republican-appointed justices on the Supreme Court of taking extraordinary steps to side with the administration and allow them to implement their agenda when, in fact, it is all of these resistance judges appointed by Barack Obama or Bill Clinton or even Jimmy Carter who are issuing crazy nationwide injunctions without a factual record in front of them that are actually taking unprecedented action.”
