“Justice Sotomayor, who certainly would not have been my choice for the Supreme Court, had more than adequate judicial experience and an at least reasonably good judicial temperament. The decisions in which she participated as a judge on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals were generally but not uniformly workmanlike.”
Typical Yale school toadie sentiment. So you are saying the Second court, who booted Ricci (New Haven, CT firefighers), was doing the right thing? That means Sotomayor, who was silent, demonstrated good judicial temperment? Wow, your bar is lower than mine, and I’m not a lawyer..
Her “empahty” temperment is seen by you as being a good source for her to render decisions. What happened to depending upon the Constitution?
Doe her “wise Latina” crack reveal good temperment?
Afraid to really dig into the substance of a fellow graduate of the Ivy League. Do us a favor and update this with a much deeper understanding of her rulings and then tell us about her fitness for the bench.
