Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor is Either Stupid or a Demogogic Liar. Reality Check: Poor People Don’t Pay a Penny At The Emergency Room.

Sonia Sotomayor was chosen to sit on the Supreme Court, sharing essentially unlimited power over America with only eight other people, due to an impressive list of five qualifications:

1. She can be depended on never to let the Constitution get in the way of the hard left political agenda.
2. She is Hispanic.
3. She can be depended on never to let the Constitution get in the way of the hard left political agenda.
4. She is more or less female.
5. She can be depended on never to let the Constitution get in the way of the hard left political agenda.

With a resume like that, it would be unreasonable to expect her to have even the most basic knowledge about reality outside the little bubble of toxic lies liberal elitists live cocooned inside. Yet Jason Lee gasps in amazement of how little she knows about the healthcare system she will vote to destroy:

“What percentage of the American people who took their son or daughter to an emergency room and that child was turned away because the parent didn’t have insurance,” asked Sotomayor, “…do you think there’s a large percentage of the American population that would stand for the death of that child — (who) had an allergic reaction and a simple shot would have saved the child?”

I have a precise answer for Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

The percentage of American people who took their son or daughter to an emergency room and were turned away because the parent didn’t have insurance is exactly zero.

No person, whether American or not, is ever turned away from an emergency room for lack of health insurance. Ever.

Since Sotomayor’s own brother is a doctor practicing in New York, it’s hard to believe she knows so little about medical care. Maybe she isn’t utterly clueless; the alternative is that she is a shameless demagogue lying to our faces. With progressives it is never easy to tell.
