is this this the comment that got so excitable before?
me-”sotomayor is clearly an ‘activist’ judge,no way to spin it….you did make an admirable effort though.”
ok…let’s go checkout pravda….

“Judge Sotomayor’s most high-profile case, Ricci v. DeStefano, concerns white firefighters in New Haven who were denied promotions after an examination yielded no black firefighters eligible for advancement.”
sounds like a legitament beef…….
” Joining an unsigned opinion of a three-judge panel of the appeals court, Judge Sotomayor upheld the rejection of a lawsuit by white firefighters”
oh well,this happens all the time….forgot to dot an “I” somewhere…probably.
” she declined to rehear the case. ”
i see.
on to another hot topic:
“Judge Sotomayor rejected a claim that a New York ban on a martial arts weapon (a nunchuka) violated a man’s Second Amendment rights, explaining the Second Amendment only applies to the federal government. In this case, Maloney v. Cuomo, the court noted that the Supreme Court’s ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller, which struck down parts of the District’s gun control law, did not invalidate this principle, and “to the extent that Heller might be read to question the continuing validity of this principle,” earlier Supreme Court rulings took precedence in the case.”
sheesh.when the NYT can’t even white wash it….you’re out of luck.
