Judge Sotomayor’s Appellate Opinions in Civil Cases

My opinion is that since she has had a few decisions overturned by the Supremes. As a matter of fact, all of her decisions that have been heard by the Supremes, have been overturned. It makes me wonder really how qualified she is.

These opinions are brought to you by The Supreme Court of the United States official BLOG at: Scotusblog

CIVIL LITIGATION

Since joining the Second Circuit in 1998, Sotomayor has authored over 150 opinions, addressing a wide range of issues, in civil cases. To date, two of these decisions have been overturned by the Supreme Court; a third is under review and likely to be reversed. In those two cases (and likely the third), Sotomayor’s opinion was rejected by the Supreme Court’s more conservative majority and adopted by its more liberal dissenters (including Justice Souter). Those outcomes suggest that Sotomayor’s views would in many respects be similar to those of Justice Souter.
