Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor and conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett jointly encouraged the nation’s governors on Friday to emulate the Supreme Court’s collegiality, despite the divisive political climate.
“I think you can do so much, honestly, by being seen in public with people who otherwise politically disagree with you, to have Republicans and Democrats together, friendships across the aisle,” Barrett said.
“I think speaking and reasoning in civil ways, I mean, those are things that people do in their regular lives, that we do on the court, that you can do,” she continued. “And that’s the kind of example for the younger generation I think we need in this country.”
