Justice Sonia Sotomayor spoke before the American Constitutional Society Thursday, praising Justice Clarence Thomas in comments that have attracted quite a bit of attention.

Sotomayor, known for her liberal takes, said Thomas is a friend who is kind and shows compassion and love for those around him. Admitting she and Thomas have divergent views, Sotomayor didn't let that stop her from offering glowing comments about her companion.

"I suspect I have probably disagreed with him more than with any other justice, that we have not joined each other's opinions more than anybody else," Sotomayor said. "And yet, Justice Thomas is the one justice in the building that literally knows every employee's name—every one of them."
