Justice Sonia Sotomayor has admitted that some Supreme Court decisions have brought her to tears.
“There are days that I’ve come to my office after an announcement of a case and closed my door and cried,” Justice Sotomayor said Friday at a Harvard University event.
“There have been those days. And there likely will be more,” the associate justice said.
“There are moments when I’m deeply, deeply sad,” she added. “There are moments when, yes, even I feel desperation.”
“We all do. But you have to own it, you have to accept it, you have to shed the tears and then you have to wipe them and get up.”
Justice Sotomayor was appointed to the high court in 2009 by former President Barack Obama. She is the court’s longest serving Democrat-appointee, and viewed by many court watchers as the most liberal voice on the bench.
Her comments come as the Supreme Court is wrapping up its 2023 term, with decisions in major cases expected by the end of June.
The justices are weighing the legality of abortion in emergency rooms in states that have banned the procedure, whether the abortion pill has any limits, if former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution and a criminal charge that hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants are facing, as well as Mr. Trump.
