Big topic of the day is obama’s nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court

While liberals are wetting themselves over the nod, the GOP already has a fight on their hands with people already swinging the hammer and sickle over the very whisper of opposition to the appointment. They seem to be forgetting that Judge Sotomayor already has issues that they can’t ignore - including her 60% reversal rate. And in a very ironic twist, the Supreme Court looks poised to overturn another one of her decisions next month - a race-based employment decision. But we’ll get to that in a minute. What was making me craziest over the appointment was that the very people that say race shouldn’t be a factor, are the same people that are going nuts over the fact that Sotomayor is a hispanic woman. Further, they want to us her skin color and gender to erase her bad decision-making skills. In fact, it could seem to some that she’d have you do the same thing.
In 2002, in a speech in California, Judge Sotomayor said race or sex does affect a judge's rulings, and said because of that, a minority woman is a better at judging than a white man. "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life," she said.
Three years later, at a panel discussion at Duke Law School, she seemed to endorse judicial activism on the appeals courts, telling students considering clerkships: "Court of Appeals is where policy is made. And I know - I know this is on tape, and I should never say that because we don't make law. I know." But perhaps more than her judicial rulings, Judge Sotomayor can expect to be asked about her temperament as a judge and about her remarks during speeches and conferences.

The Almanac of the Federal Judiciary lists a series of quotes from lawyers praising her legal ability, but she also drew barbs from lawyers who said she is abusive in the courtroom: "She really lacks judicial temperament," one lawyer told the publication.

“These people are so excited about a hispanic woman being on the bench - did they forget that being a Justice is about making decisions based on what our Constitution prescribes?”

Three of the five majority opinions written by Judge Sotomayor for the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals and reviewed by the Supreme Court were reversed, providing a potent line of attack raised by opponents. As as I mentioned a moment ago court watchers are already predicting that a majority of justices will rule in favor of New Haven, Connecticut., firefighters who said the city discriminated against them after it tested them for promotions, then scrapped the results after it realized a disproportionate number of whites would be promoted. Judge Sotomayor was part of a unanimous three-judge panel that issued an unsigned opinion ruling against the firefighters and in favor of the city. So the city discriminated against white firefighters, she voted in favor of their decision and we’re not supposed to be concerned about her judicial mindset? Okaaay.

I do have to thank the lib nominators for one thing...
