Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a formal public apology on April 15, 2026, for remarks she made at the University of Kansas School of Law criticizing Justice Brett Kavanaugh's background in connection with his concurrence in an immigration enforcement case. The episode — only the second known instance of a sitting justice publicly apologizing in modern Supreme Court history — has reignited debates over judicial decorum, the legitimacy of off-bench critique, and the Court's institutional credibility at a time when public approval sits near historic lows.
