Sotomayor: "There is no failsafe system of government,m, we have a judicial system that has llayers of protection for the accused in the hopes that the innocent will go free. We fail. Routinely. But we succeed more often than not. In the vast majority of cases, the innocent do go free. But we still fail. We've executed innocent people. M In the end, if it fails completely, it's because we've destroyed our democracy on our own.

@Kinnison Such a wonderful jurist. We have had about 200 members of the Supreme Court and she’s already in the top 20%.
