justice sotomayor, describe that. do you feel special obligations to women or to the legal profession or the judiciary because you are breaking every day these barriers? >> i don't think i feel a special obligation to a particular group of people. i do feel as a justice, whether i'm a woman or not, an obligation to uphold the values of the court. and i think that that's what sandra felt. a deep commitment to the institution. and that goes along with ruth's description of her emphasis on the collegiality of the court. i tell a story that the justices were at a meeting. i don't remember if it was lunch or conference. we got distracted in conversation about a book that described many a time in the supreme court history when the justices were openly hostile to each other. and someone asked, what changed that? and some of my colleagues were suggesting the names of one or more chief judges. and all of a sudden a quiet voice in the room said, when women came on the court. and justice ginsburg was right about that. do i remem

sotomayor was a wonderful artist. he did paintings and drawings as well as pen and ink including this wonderful fountain. please help us put this fountain back together on the island. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. are there other speakers? >> good morning. i'm retired admiral john biddulph. i had the honor of living in nimitz house on yerba buena island. i am here today in my capacity as a member of the treasure island museum advisory council. following the 1989 loma prieta earthquake and in the process of inspecting the island for damage, i came across a fenced-in area containing colorful ceramic tiles, and their beauty caught my eye. research revealed they were part of the pacific basin fountain from the 1939 world's fair. as a history buff and an art aficionado, i wanted to preserve these facts and have the terra cotta tiles repaired and installed in front of building number one. i like to see myself as the stepfather of this fountain. i requested special funding to make this happened, but i retired

and just to put sotomayor in the context of art, on the left is lucien laboe, sotomayor, and other people involved in the art in the fair in 1939 and 1940. the fair ended in 1940. the navy moved onto treasure island, demolished pacific house and relocated the fountain to a remote area of the island. unfortunately, the navy also cemented the pieces together. it removed there for almost 50 years, where it was a source of enjoyment to people on the island. when the navy aunited statnnou 80s that it had other plans for the location, the navy and the island moved it to museum in district one. during this, sotomayor passed away. he died believing that the fountain was under restoration. in his obituary, the paper called him san francisco's novel laureate. this was the last photograph taken of the fountain before it was dismantled. engineers determined rather than moving it in one place, the fountain would have to be cut along mortared joints. tida is the steward owner and caretaker of both the covarrbias murals and the pacific fountains. five of the six murals have been lovingly preserved. one

justice sotomayor and gorsuch. for him she also clerked on the court of appeals for the tenth circuit. so i thought we would start today at beginning and talk a little bit about the experience of interviewing for a supreme court clerkship and getting hired. so i think i'll start at the far end with jane, our most recent clerk and therefore presumably has the best memories of getting hired. obviously getting hired by justice gorsuch was a little bit unusual since you worked for him on the court of appeals, but maybe you could tell us about gettinging hired first by justice sotomayor. >> the second time around, it was a phone call. a lot easier, no interview. so the first time around, it was, many people apply to the clerkship. but i didn't think i had the background, the grades so i went on to a law firm. it was f the law firm then judge gorsuch called me once a week. he was like get your application into the court. and so i stuff. resume writing samples and the like and you send it to all justices across the board.

sonia sotomayor dijo... ilia: quÉ te llamÓ la atención? se trata sobre sÍ daca es legal o ilegal, que se trata sobre la decisiÓn de ellos sobre terminar de destruir vidas. ilia: quÉ te llamÓ la atención a ti de lo que escuchaste? te veo emocionada y como vida. >>tenemos desde el domingo aquÍ con mucho frÍo, esperando a ver si tenemos la oportunidad de entrar, y no se siente real estar adentro. es increÍble que nueve personas van a decidir el futuro de tantas personas, y mÁs las personas que no tienen daca, y han tenido que navegar sus vidas en este paÍs, estÁn contribuyendo a esta economÍa. salÍ con mucha emociÓn de estar aquÍ, estamos peleando esta pelea. pero tenemos muchas buenas esperanzas de que van a tomar la decisiÓn buena, si no, estamos listas para movilizar a nuestra comunidad y seguir al congreso para buscar algo mÁs permanente. ilia: hemos hablado con decenas de soÑadores durante esta jornada, algo muy importante es que no estÁn soÑando solamente por ustedes, sino por quienes no tienen una situaciÓn legal en el paÍs. >>por nues

and just to put sotomayor in the context of art, on the left is lucien laboe, sotomayor, and other peopleolved in the art in the fair in 1939 and 1940. the fair ended in 1940. the navy moved onto treasure island, demolished pacific house and relocated the fountain to a remote area of the island. unfortunately, the navy also cemented the pieces together. it removed there for almost 50 years, where it was a source of enjoyment to people on

i think the words of justice breyer rhapsody critically important as well as words of justice sotomayor who indicated sonia sotomayor, who indicated it was president trump who said he would protect daca recipients. he would protect the recipients, and he is fail to do so. as a result of the statements coming out of the mouth of the president of these united states, this court should understand this as a nation of immigrants and that all of us should uphold the police and the values of our country, that is immigrants are here to stay and we should protect against the 700,000 individuals who came here for opportunity or education and for freedom. and so in the great state of new york, it's an honor and post to be a represent the coalition, 70 minutes of the attorney generals association who filed on behalf of these individuals. and i say -- [speaking spanish] >> gracias. my name is -- i am 31. i am a plaintiff. i am a mom and i am a daca recipient. i am honored to stand it today in front of you continue our fight to defend daca. i i am from the suburbs of long island, new york, which has

justice sonia sotomayor blasting the president, noting he once promised the dreamers "that they were safe under him and that he'd find a way to keep them here. and he hasn't." conservative justices argued that the president has the power to end the program, just as obama could start it, and that he had done so properly. but even justice neil gorsuch, a trump appointee, acknowledged the wrenching emotions at the heart of this case, saying, "i hear a lot of facts, sympathetic facts you put out there and they speak to all of us." >> and terry moran live at the supreme court tonight. another major headline out of the court today, as you know, clearing the way for the families of the victims in the newtown massacre, clearing the way for those families to sue the maker of the ar-15-style rifle used in that shooting that killed, as we all know, 20 children and six adults? >> reporter: that's right, david. those families suing remington arms, the maker of that rifle. they allege that the company knowingly marketed that weapon to civilians for offensive combat-style operations against their p
