Nobody ever accuses Democrats of being intelligent.

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes lobbed an unexpectedly harsh accusation at progressive Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Saturday.

On X (formerly Twitter), Hayes marveled at the Supreme Court’s request for
West Point to hastily put together a response brief in a lawsuit aimed at stopping it from continuing to consider race in admissions decisions.

“Look how quickly courts can move when it’s the pressing issue of
‘reducing the number of black people at West Point,'” remarked Hayes about
the Court’s request.

NEW THIS HOUR: The Court has ordered an unusually quick turnaround for the response brief from West Point. It is due Tuesday by 5pm.

But what Hayes was apparently not aware of up to that point is that the
request was made by Justice Sotomayor — who dissented in the watershed
case that largely wiped out affirmative action, but notably exempted
service academies last year — and she’s also the one who set the deadline.
In the hours and now days days since Hayes first unwittingly accused
Sotomayor of excitedly carrying out an anti-Black agenda, his folly has
been pointed out countless times.

“Justice Sotomayor requested this response. (See screenshot.) To suggest
she did so out of racial animus is absurd. One might even call this
smearing of the Court ‘misinformation,'” said Ohio Solicitor General Ben Flowers.
