Supreme Court Reversed 60% of Sotomayor's Rulings

With Judge Sonia Sotomayor already facing questions over her 60 percent reversal rate, the Supreme Court could dump another problem into her lap next month if, as many legal analysts predict, the court overturns one of her rulings upholding a race-based employment decision.

Three of the five majority opinions written by Judge Sotomayor for the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals and reviewed by the Supreme Court were reversed, providing a potent line of attack raised by opponents Tuesday after President Obama announced he will nominate the 54-year-old Hispanic woman to the high court.

"Her high reversal rate alone should be enough for us to pause and take a good look at her record. Frankly, it is the Senates duty to do so," said Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America.


Uh... 60%? So how do we look at this? Does she have a differing ideology from the SCOTUS majority? Does she have poor judgement? Does she make stupid decisions? I mean who knows. But I think the fact that she has such a high reversal rate, definitely warrants a much, much harder look into what kind of justice she would be.
