Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor opened up about her friendship with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas during a Thursday appearance at Roosevelt University in Chicago.
During Sotomayor’s appearance, the liberal justice was asked about how she maintains relationships with justices who have different legal philosophies than her, specifically the conservative Thomas.
“I try to find the good in everybody,” Sotomayor shared, according to CNN’s Eric Bradner. “Because if I can treat them as people with good things inside of me, they can feel it. They can feel that there are things inside them that I value. And they’re more wiling to talk to me … and do it in a respectful way, where we can value each other.”
