Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has issued a rare public apology for recent comments she made about fellow Justice Brett Kavanaugh, in which she accused the conservative of being out of touch in his opinion on a recent high-profile immigration case.
“I made remarks that were inappropriate,” Sotomayor, a liberal appointed by the Obama administration, said in a statement Wednesday to various news outlets. “I regret my hurtful comments. I have apologized to my colleague.”
