In a discussion over affirmative action, Sotomayor ironically shows she doesn't know the basic difference between "de facto" and "de jure."
It's not a slip of the tongue, they go back and forth, Alito tries to correct her and she proceeds to make the same mistake.
Someone observing the oral argument tells me that Kagan was trying to make a coherent point, and was interrupted by Sotomayor asking some nonsense question. Kagan then "immediately folded her head into her hands and then glared at Soto."
Not enough has been made of the fact that there is not a single liberal male on the Supreme Court. A true watershed. You wanted a movement without white males. Good luck.
Sotomayor still masking.
