Justice Sotomayor: 'We Can't Afford Despair,' So Oppose Trump

"Every good person has an obligation."

Following her Freudian slip about how she occasionally fantasized about going all Joe DiMaggio on Justice Scalia with a baseball bat, Justice Sotomayor now tells her followers to oppose Trump or risk facing despair.  

Speaking in Washington at the Old Naval Hospital, Justice Sotomayor advised those present that they "can't afford for a president to fail" and should seek to support that "which is right and help guide him to those right decisions in whichever way we can find to do that."

After throwing that Easter egg of national unity, Sotomayor was asked by moderator Bill Press if she felt "apprehensive about what happened in this nation last Tuesday." Donning her leftist robe, the lady Justice then made a call to protest by dressing it up under the guise of people "being heard."

"We can't afford to despair, and we can't afford to give up on pursuing the values that we and others have fought so hard to achieve," she said. "I think that this is the time where every good person has an obligation both to continue being heard and to continue doing the right thing."

That's all just a lofty way of saying "keep up the protests," lest Trump reverse the progressive agenda. Slightly better than advising people to take a baseball bat to Trump, but still the same Sotomayor nonetheless. 

Left-of-left Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has remained mum on Trump's election since last Tuesday, though she has been seen wearing her special dissenting jabot – the collar she wears when dishing out dissenting opinions. 

RBG allegedly told MSNBC national reporter Irin Carmon, "This is my dissenting collar. … It looks fitting for dissents."
