Sotomayor Apologizes for ‘Hurtful’ Criticism of Kavanaugh

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a rare public apology for criticism she levied toward Brett Kavanaugh during a speaking appearance.

“At a recent appearance at the University of Kansas School of Law, I referred to a disagreement with one of my colleagues in a prior case, but I made remarks that were inappropriate,” Sotomayor said of the April 7 response during a question and answer session. “I regret my hurtful comments. I have apologized to my colleague.”
