Abstract

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor emphasized the importance of judges being "fiercely independent" in upholding the rule of law during a forum at Georgetown University. She highlighted the need for judges to protect judicial independence and constitutional rights amidst challenges. While not directly addressing President Trump's criticisms of judges, Sotomayor expressed concerns about the erosion of common norms essential for a functioning justice system. President Trump's request to resume deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members without hearings under a 1798 law previously used only in wartime was also mentioned in the article.
