Explanation:
Sotomayor made a great point with the speech because the majority of the time Judges fell into a category of profile that made the job very biased. So she expressed that we needed different perspectives, different backgrounds, different judges, from different origins that could challenge the system, improve it, and make it just instead of biased as it was.
Are u referring to the judge? If so, Justice Sotomayor argued that the ability to deliberate privately and confidentially is an important part of judicial independence.
