This Is Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor Stopping By Sesame Street to Talk About Careers

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor Stops By Sesame Street to Talk About Careers with Abby Cadabby

Image source: YouTube

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor probably isn’t endearing herself to any fairy godmothers or singing mice.

She stopped by “Sesame Street” and no doubt dashed the hopes of wannabe royals everywhere when she told Abby Cadabby that being a princess is not a career.

“A career is a job you train for, or prepare for and plan on doing for a long time,” Sotomayor said.

So what kinds of careers are there for girls (or muppets) like Abby?

“You can go to school and train to be a teacher, a lawyer, a doctor, an engineer and even a scientist,” Sotomayor said. “I am a United States Supreme Court justice. I went to school and studied law and then became a judge.”

That sounded pretty good to Abby, who decided she wants to be a judge too.

Maybe don’t ask her to decide between originalism and the living Constitution theory just yet.

    Call me crazy, but I think the rest of the world will be very impressed seeing one of our SC justices on stage with a freakin’ puppet. I know I was impressed…what is our country coming to. I’m starting to wonder if the last six days have been an ongoing hallucination brought on by a medication or something. I just can’t believe this is really happening in the greatest country the world has ever known. It’s like a National Lampoon movie come to life.

      This is really a disgusting display of the celebrity culture that has grasped this country around the throat. This is not an appropriate venue for a Supreme Court Justice. Read fresh political commentary at: http://smallcraftadvisorychronicles.blogspot.com/

      The SCOTUS has becme a freak show comprised of flakes, oddballs, kooks and haters of America and traditional American values.

      When Obama makes other appointments it will look more like a carnival sideshow than a court.

    Did she mention anything about La Raza ? More shining examples of Americas suicidal self destruction will be named to the Supreme Legislative Branch of the government (previously known as the Supreme Court) in the next four years.

    Why would any smart, thoughtful person want to be a teacher, there are no job, schools are in dire need of money and people are not voting for increase in property taxes.

    So telling telling little girls they can be anything they want .. Isn’t that what Capitalist keep telling people. And where are the jobs when you have to compete with foreign engineers and scientists.

    Let Ms Sotomayor go to any college campus and look at the majority of the students are graduating, Music, History, Art, economics, english, oh and the best is Marine Biologist. And when these women end up as clerks, secretaries they get angry.

    Ms Sotomayor go out and listen to the girls in the malls, schools and places where teenagers congregate and then tell me that the majority want to be engineers.

    And best of all these girls and boys that voted for Obama got their ideas from Colbert. They where not taught critical thinking by their intelligent caring and thoughtful professors.

      Because being a teacher is really easy, you don’t have to worry about getting fired and you get three months of vacation a year. Oh, and you only have to work six hours a day. I expect of flood of complaints from irate teachers now, but so what. Them that can, do; them as can’t, teach.

    I am sick and tired of all these affirmative action picks… first black, first latina, first gay, first black gay latina, etc… you want to impress me… then only refer to your candidate by their character and not the color of their skin or their preference towards hiding the salami… otherwise all you are doing is openly appointing someone that is not as qualified as a thousand other more qualified people… just so you can check a box off on your affirmative action checklists… we have real problems that require the most qualified people to be in positions of authority… not some feel good touchy feely couldn’t otherwise get the job on their own merits other than race or who they will or will not blow to get the job.

    Ah yes. One of Obama’s evil minions, on the propaganda machine called Sesame Street.
    I don’t know why anyone would allow their children to watch this indoctrination crap show.
