NEW YORK – Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is warning that civic education needs to improve so Americans understand the difference between presidents and kings.
"I think if people understood these things from the beginning, they would be more informed as to what would be important in a democracy in terms of what people can or should not do,” the liberal justice said Sept. 16 at a New York Law School event celebrating Constitution and Citizenship Day.
Sotomayor didn’t mention President Donald Trump. But her comments come at a time when Trump is pushing the boundaries on presidential power. That’s prompted protestors to hold “No Kings” demonstrations across the country.
It also comes as Trump is in England, meeting with Britain's King Charles on a visit with the royal family.
