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.
