Hispanics. I can't help but think that the only reason she was picked is because she is a hispanic woman. Surely their are better qualified liberal judges to choose from. To me this is a sop to all the Hispanic dominated groups that turned out in force for Obama. |

I think you pegged that one. |

yep, see my "hispanic vagina" comment above. That is SO ignorant IMO. Perhaps I should also really like her because both of us have dark hair? |

My guess would be sirbrian loves this pick, brum will justify it by citing something the republicans did, and dreach is researching any possible reason to like it, as he clearly isn't ready to admit to the mistake that is Obama. ps, NLA has probably had to change his shorts every hour since the announcement. |

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,529409,00.html Add another one to Sonia's wonderful record with the Supreme Court. Geez....if she get's confirmed (which she will) it will be just another nail in the coffin of a fair and blind justice system. |

I understand the dislike for her, and I agree. The comment about the courts making the law and how being Hispanic makes her more qualified or whatever, obviously does not put her in a good light. But having a decision overturned? This is not a big deal. Any time there is a dissenting opinion in the Supreme Court (which is almost every case) it could be considered an overturned decision. Happens all the time with every judge in history. Edited by dreachon, Jun 29 2009, 06:39 PM.

The sad thing is cases like this one probably won't be overturned after she's on the court. |

dreach, having a few cases overturned by a slim margin is one thing, but having almost all of your rulings overturned is quite another. If the Supreme Court consistently says that your interpretation of the law of the land is flawed or incorrect, it has to make anyone seriously consider that person's qualifications for the highest court in the land. |

Now that I agree with. If you want to make your argument stronger then how about a comparison of the % of cases of Sontomeyer's that were overturned with the % of dissenting opinions of the judges currently on the Supreme Court. Those would be interesting numbers to see. |

Actually she would replace Judge Souter who was among the dissenting opinions in this case. So at least in this example it would have no impact. |
