Weak spin.

a recent Sotomayor dissent in which she wrote that the administration had made a habit of turning to the Supreme Court after losses in lower courts.

Ironic that a Supreme Court Justice would criticize the established path to her doing her job.

"Claiming one emergency after another, the government has recently sought stays in an unprecedented number of cases, demanding immediate attention and consuming limited court resources in each," Sotomayor wrote. "And with each successive application, of course, its cries of urgency ring increasingly hollow." She added that the Supreme Court was "partly to blame" because it "has been all too quick to grant the government's" requests.

More irony that a Progressive Justice, appointed on political grounds as all are now appointed, and who adjudicates via the notion that she can decide by applying her view of social justice (which is why she was nominated) rather than the meaning of constitutional text, that she blames the Court for being political.

You and Trump have a disagreement--as you would say "no surprise."
