Welcome
to
our
daily
feature, Quote
of
the
Day.
If
you
mean
bridges—convince
them
that
they’re
wrong—I
dissent
so
much.
I’m
not
very
successful.
—
Justice
Sonia
Sotomayor,
in
a
somewhat
defeated
response
to
a
question
from
a
law
student
at
the
University
of
Alabama,
about
how
she’s
built
bridges
with
the
court’s
conservative
majority.
Sotomayor
went
on
to
describe
her
relationships
with
her
fellow
justices
as
cordial
outside
of
the
decision-making
process,
“With
all
of
them
I
certainly
have
a
civil
relationship.
And
with
many,
I
dare
say
I
have
a
friendship.”
