Yawn.
She was overturned by SCOTUS in 3 out of 5 cases where she wrote the majority opinion, and the SC reviewed it.
Correctional Services Corporation v. Malesko, which involved an inmate who sought to sue a private contractor operating a halfway house on behalf of the Bureau of Prisons over injuries he sustained. Sotomayor said he could, but a majority of the justices disagreed.
•In another case, Sotomayor wrote that under the Clean Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency could not use a cost-benefit analysis to determine the best technology available for drawing cooling water into power plants with minimal impact on aquatic life. By a vote of 6-3 this year, the Supreme Court ruled otherwise in Entergy v. Riverkeeper (here, she brilliantly concluded that cost/benefit analyses are unconstitutional)
•The third reversal, in 2005, was a unanimous 8-0 decision in the case Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. v. Dabit. Sotomayor had written that a class action securities suit brought in state court by a broker/stockholder was not preempted by the 1998 Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act. But the high court’s opinion said it "would be odd, to say the least" if the law contained the exception that Sotomayor said it did.
OK? In the case where she was overturned unanimously (meaning Scalia, Ginsburg, and everyone in between said she was wrong), and they went so far as to call her conclusion "odd, to say the least".
Worthy of a promotion? Debatable.
Got anything else you want to say?
