1 Line From Sonia Sotomayor Earns A Standing Ovation On 'Colbert'

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s latest damning dissent earned rapturous applause from “The Late Show” audience on Tuesday.

Host Stephen Colbert read a segment of guest Sotomayor’s objection to the conservative-majority court’s ruling that allowed immigration agents to use racial profiling:

“We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish and appears to work in a low-wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our Constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent.”


The audience erupted in cheers.

they are pathetic, enabled and doubt any of them have ever been profiled, except Kav gives of a predator vibe
