U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said this week that the arrival of Brett Kavanaugh has been greeted with the traditional “welcoming for a new member of our court,” adding that “we are going to let these times pass,” an apparent reference to his stormy confirmation process.

The interview with Univision was part of Sotomayor’s publicity for “Turning Pages,” her newly published children’s book highlighting her childhood love of reading. Born in New York of Puerto Rican parents, Sotomayor spoke Spanish in the conversation with Univision anchor Ilia Calderón.
