Justice Sonia Sotomayor Allows Stephen To Approach The Bench

[@mrschmidt8384]

What?? She's like an extremely powerful judge on the supreme court, not a 'kindy grandmother'. I'm trying to imagine you calling a male supreme court judge a 'kindly grandfather'. Can we please stop to ascribe some weird emotional qualities to professional women rather than ascribing their achievements to talent, like we'd do to guys? It's called benevolent sexism. As a guy this really annoys me

[@lukelim5094]

Yea she might feel like a kindly grandma . That is just a part of her. Look closely and you can see the fire and intelligence behind those eyes. If you notice she always answered precisely and take her time to think thru before answering. She is a judge for a reason. And like what colbert said, the fact she stay in DC? Probably a lion inside her to get to where she is.

I love these segments. Stephen has a way to make people in power seem like regular people you'd like to hang out with.

[@thhal6058]

Unfortunately, Stephen is doing that for Democrats only. That's either on purpose, or one need to believe in the assumption that no DC Republican is a regular person who we would like hang out with. Which would be quite a big statement to come up with.

Hardly. I found it rather wonderful that she had no idea about Ghostbusters. It may be helpful for a judge to have some understanding of popular culture, but it is by no means a requirement. It is is a small example of her, as a judge, remains one step apart. That is only a good thing.
