| Wise Latina poised to take oath as Supreme Court justice |
| 2009-08-08 |
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts will swear in Sotomayor twice at the Supreme Court. The first ceremony will be private. A second ceremony will be held in front of Sotomayor's friends and family as well as the media. It will also mark the first time the oath-taking ceremony will be open to television cameras in the court's history. |

| #5 I have only one problem with her an it's not race. 60% of her decisions were overturned on appeal. THAT'S A VERY POOR RATIO. |

| #3 Yeah, what Frank said plus the fact that she has been overturned on appeal so often you could do better by flipping a coin. A Magic 8-Ball would make a better judge. |

| #2 I'm of the opinion it couldn't have worked much better for conservatives. Obama was gonna appoint a lefty to the Court, and a minority as well. Because she has been spectacularly indiscrete in her bleatings, she had to reverse Obama's "empathy" standard and virtually all her previous positions. She also pledged fealty to the constitution, and NOT as a "living document". She'll backslide on those, but will catch teh shit when she does. We all knew she lied to get through the confirmation. She is also a dim-intellect, and will not get others to her side with her limited powers of persuasion over her intellectual betters. It could've been a LOT worse my $.02 |
