she had a large number of opinions unanimously overruled by the supreme court.

you love to stretch the Truth




Q: What percentage of Sonia Sotomayor’s opinions have been overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court?

A: Of the majority opinions that Judge Sonia Sotomayor has authored since becoming an appellate judge in 1998, three of them have been overturned by the Supreme Court. out of 232 cases

The Senate confirmed Sonia Sotomayor to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court on August 6, 2009, by a vote of 68–31.

she had 5 of her opinions reviewed by the supreme court, 4 were overturned, 3 of those unanimously. if you’re satisfied with that ratio, good for you.

i’m well aware of the votes to confirm her. that’s not because the gop likes her, it’s because the gop didn’t then make a habit of opposing judicial nominations for political reasons. The democrats invented that with Bork.

OK. So as long as claiming that one race is superior to all others is sufficiently in your past, it's harmless.

You went into exile when Hilary lost, buddy. You humiliate yourself, no one needs to do it for you.

Ok, I’ll admit this isn’t sexist it’s just ignorant.

You mock what you don’t understand Jim. Keep grasping as nothing, it’s not impressing Dangles at all by the way.

i don’t know that bry. but you tell
me, she had 5 opinions get reviewed, 4 got overturned, and 3 of those were unanimous, meaning everyone from Ginsberg to Scalia said she was wrong on the law.

id like to see Borks results for his opinions that were reviewed by scotus.

and what about her statement that latina women make the best judges? and the fact that she’s currently complaining about cases that are appealed to the scotus?

if it wasn’t for activist judges so comfortable with ignoring the constitution to promote personal political ideology, maybe she wouldn’t be seeing so many cases. Her complaining about cases being appealed to scotus, is like an arsonist complaining about the sound of fire engine sirens ( stolen from ted cruz).

So, you don't know that out of 232 (I saw 432 somewhere else online) cases if that is a lot or not. For all I know (or you know) Scallia had similar numbers and mountains could be molehills here.

As far as her comments, I think it wasn't great wording, but do I think that having diverse backgrounds on SCOTUS is good? Absolutely, since they are representing cases for all Americans, and that means I want judges appointed by conservatives and liberals.

Back to work, play nice everyone....

her comments are the textbook definition of bigotry.

here’s a big difference between liberals and conservatives. for big important jobs ( scotus qualifies) i don’t give a frogs fat azz about pigmentation or genetalia, and neither does anyone else who isn’t a moron. if the very best candidate is a white man, he gets the job, if the best candidate is a purple drag queen, they get the job.

Bill Clinton committed to naming a woman AG, which is why we got an incompetent moron named Janet Reno, and if that appointment was done to make women feel better, i’m sure that means a lot to the women burned to death in an idiotic and unnecessary military attack in Waco.

The country would be very well
served, if your side would
pay less attention to things that people have absolutely zero control over, and which say absolutely nothing about our character or
abilities.
