Sotomayor's Most Notable Decisions: What Do You Think?

Posted July 13, 2009

Judge Sonia Sotomayor's nearly 17 years on the federal bench means that she could bring more federal judicial experience to the Supreme Court than any justice in a century. As a judge on the U.S. Appeals Court for the Second Circuit, Sotomayor has heard more than 3,000 court cases and written more than 380 majority opinions. Her long judicial record means that she's tackled some of the nation's most hot-button issues from abortion to affirmative action.

Sotomayer-Ricci Case

She isn't qualified, affirmative action has resulted in unqualified public servants throughout government and many industries, thus poor service and lousy performance.Tests should be required in this case and if they don't pass to bad they shouldn't get the job,has nothing to do with race or discrimination. She was appointed by a liberal and is a liberal. She is a learning justice at this new highest level.Made good media coverage for Obama seems like he will do about anything for that media coverage. I believe he has set a record for fundraising and campaigning while in Office as President in US History

Respect Our Constitution

It is obvious that Judge Stomayor does not understand or respect our Bill OF Rights or The Constitution,the foremost freedom document ever written.The Constitution was written by men who understood about Freedom and Liberty they sacrificed everything to make us free from tyranny. These documents should never be changed as some anti Constitution politicans want to eliminate our Rights and Freedoms.

Judge Sotomayor's Appointment

Based upon some of her decisions and commeents it appears that Judge Sotomayor has a racial and ethnic bias in favor of minorities. The Supreme Court should be free from bias.
