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

Notable decisions ?

Despite the endorsements and testimony by some fellow jurists and the legal community at her confirmation hearings of her judicial expertise and balance, Judge Sotomayor seems to demonstrate a persistent reluctance to apply the basic concepts of US legal precedence in her rulings. This is troubling because legal precedence is at the heart of our common law system. In contrast, the Judge seems to willingly embrace "novel" legal concepts outside the norm that are more in keeping with the application of European legal approaches to contemporary US problems as if we were already under a world-wide system of government. The vast majority of Americans would not agree that contemporary European legal concepts meet the needs of our citizens or our legal system. Even more troubling is Judge Sotomayor's unwillingness to recognize the inconsistency of her legal analyses with the very system she has sworn to uphold. We are not yet governed by the United Nations or the World Court, as much as Democratic Progressives would wish. I hope that in her new role, Judge Sotomayor does not feel compelled to adopt their solutions to our problems. One can only hope that the gravity of her new role will encourage her to embrace and apply legal concepts that are more in keeping with the basic values of our citizenry. Time will tell.

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.

Sotomayor

Sotomayor's decisions on the first three issues are appalling. Especially the second shows that she fails to understand how important the separation of the Church and the State is. He decision on issue number 8 is absurd. If not cost benefit analysis, how are we to decide? Her decision on issue no 1 goes against the concept of meritocracy.

Experience is irrelevant. Being latino or a woman is completely and totally irrelevant. What matters is the person's values. Sotomayor has confused values and is therefore unable to consistently uphold freedom and individual rights. Not that the other Supreme Copurt judges are much better. For now, America is doomed to not achieve perfect freedom but just a mish mash of freedom, oppression and favoritism. As is the rest of the world. The percentage of oppression is almost 100% in the arabic world.

Respect our court system

As you speak, Judge Sotomayor is the only Latina ever nominated in the Supreme Court. Analyzed all the Supreme Court judges and compare their experience with her. If some with less experience can be in the supreme court then why not Sotomayor can also be one of them. I trust better a female supreme court judge than a male judge. Most of our supreme court judges are all very good so far and we need more women judge in the supreme court. The supreme court should be 50-50 male and female judge. All of them are lawyers so they all understand the language. The more our politician delay her nomination, the more our system will not improved if our politician take a long time to make a decision because of too much politics in our system. If a nominee qualified for the requirements, education, records as a judge and experience, why it take too long to make a decision. Is this a hard selection of a nominee considering that all politician are educated. If our politician is a high school graduate, it is make sense it will take 100 years to make a decision. All they need is compare with our supreme court judges qualification, records, education and experience. If Sotomayour qualified base on this, then the nomination should be yes regardless of party affilliation.

God Bless you all

Justice

I am not sure that what you think is experience is actually a sure fire way to change the US system with her "heritage" thoughts. I wonder if we need another person who things they should be able to change the connsitution with their decisions. I would rather have a strict consitutationalest in the mix rather than someone who does not even look at what the constitution says when dealing with her judgement

Loc

She's a Crip.

Sotomayor

A racist from the ground up. She will never be impartial, will be a black mark on the judicial system. She fits in with our newest facist administration
