Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has apologized for “inappropriate” remarks that she made at Justice Brett Kavanaugh last week. 

Sotomayor complained about Kavanaugh’s take on Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo, a case in which Kavanaugh wrote a concurring opinion that dealt with stopping suspected illegal immigrants. 

Sotomayor had said in part:

“I had a colleague in that case who wrote, you know, these are only temporary stops,” Sotomayor said at a University of Kansas School of Law event on last Tuesday.

“This is from a man whose parents were professionals. And probably doesn’t really know any person who works by the hour.” 

The comment showed a rare public swipe at a fellow justice on the Supreme Court.
