Sotomayor apologizes to Kavanaugh for critical remarks
Original: Justice Sotomayor apologizes to Justice Kavanaugh for public criticism of immigration opinion
US Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has apologized to Justice Brett Kavanaugh after publicly criticizing his opinion in an immigration case. The episode is notable for the court, whose justices traditionally avoid openly disputing each other's reasoning in public, and comes amid heightened political attention to the judiciary's handling of immigration rulings.
Why now: Public disagreement followed by an apology between Supreme Court justices is rare, and it touches on the politically charged issue of immigration.
