U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor spoke at University of Alaska Fairbanks on Sunday, and expressed her opinion on the politicization of the country. From the media, to the government, Sotomayor said people could learn a thing or two from the nation’s highest court, Alaska Dispatch News reported.
Differences in legal arguments does not give one side a moral high ground, Sotomayor told the audience. She applied that philosophy both to people who appear before the Supreme Court and the Court itself. When parties argue before her, she recognizes that both have equal passion and belief in their cause. “No matter what decision I make, I’m going to hurt someone else,” she said.
As far as her colleagues on the bench, she said that different points of view don’t prevent them from doing their jobs or even getting along as friends. “We understand if we take our disagreements as personal attacks then we won’t be able to function as a group.” Sotomayor said that Congress could learn from their example.
