Justice Sotomayor’s Message to Lawyers: Stand Up, Fight and Win In an era when judges are often assessed by their commitment to democracy, Justice Sonia Sotomayor stands as a stalwart in the pro-democracy camp.

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is β€œour time to stand up and be heard.”

What’s supposed to happen?

If my daughter is out and masked men grab her, claiming they’re ICE, drag her away w/out letting her prove she’s a citizen… w/out calling me, her dad… what is she supposed to do?

Does she not have the right to fight back, as we have taught her, to free herself. Run?

Episode IV
It Was All So Stupid

Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.

A judge has granted a preliminary injunction allowing federal employees’ collective bargaining rights to remain intact in a dozen agencies. This is a small victory for federal employees, their union rights and the American people they serve: www.nteu.org/top-news-upd...
