Sotomayor Apologizes to Kavanaugh

Justice Sotomayor expressed regret for what she called 'hurtful' and 'inappropriate' remarks aimed at Justice Kavanaugh during a recent public appearance.

The dispute centered on a dissenting opinion regarding ICE raids, where Sotomayor had suggested that Kavanaugh's professional background made him oblivious to the lives of hourly workers.

This public spilling of internal court friction is highly unusual given the Supreme Court's long tradition of maintaining friendly relationships between the justices.

The apology comes as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson also delivered a scathing takedown of the court's 'shadow docket' rulings that have favored the Trump administration.
