OH NO, SHE DIDN'T?
When Jeff Sessions contrasted her views with that of another judge, Sotomayor invited him to ask her as she was in the audience as part of her coterie. "My friend Judge (Miriam) Cedarbaum is here," she riposted, to Sessions’ apparent surprise. "We are good friends, and I believe that we both approach judging in the same way, which is looking at the facts of each individual case and applying the law to those facts," something to which Cedarbaum would later accede.

Rather, it’s because this question doesn’t really involve her, although it has everything to do with the number of votes she will get.
(Now, as far as being "real" from my perspective, the Democrats - most ably Diane Feinstein - seemed to structure their commentary about who the real "activists" are.)
