- And McCain/Palin would have been better?

They couldn't be doing any worse.
And I SERIOUSLY doubt McCain would have picked Sotomayor for the Supreme Court. - Reply to this comment

LOL! hungry, you just posted that factcheck agrees with me.
And you think that proves I'm wrong????

- Obviously you're not very good at statistics.
The SC reviewed only five of her rulings. Of those five, three were found to be faulty.
What if the SC applied equal scrutiny to her other rulings? are you saying they would over turn ZERO?????
No, the reasonable thing would be to estimate that an equal percentage of those rulings would also be found faulty.
If all of her rulings have a unform defect rate, that would mean a whopping 139 of her rulings would be overturned.
If you consider a Supreme Court review of her work to be her final exam as a judge, that means she scored a 40 on her final.
Now the failure president Obama wants to put the failure judge on the Supreme Court.
Well, with a failure public school system and a failure justice and corrections system, it just makes sense that the failure of our nation should spread to the White House and the Supreme Court.
No matter how you look at it, Obama gets an F on his report card. - Reply to this comment

So according to you THREE out of the FIVE of her rulings were overturned.
THAT'S 60%.
No - according to ME, only 3 out of 232 of her rulings were overturned by the Supreme Court. That's only 1.3%.
Your math only works if she made a grand total of FIVE rulings in her Appellate Court career as a judge, ALL FIVE of them were reviewed by the Supreme Court, and 3 out of those 5 were overturned. Then, and only then, could you say that 60% of her rulings were overturned by the Supreme Court. (Seriously, how can you realistically discount 227 of her rulings, and pretend like she never made them?)
But even if you WERE right, which obviously you're not, her record is STILL better than the average that the Supreme Court hears and overturns:

"In any case, 60 percent of the cases the Supreme Court has reviewed is not a particularly high number. In any given term, the Supreme Court normally reverses a higher percentage of the cases it hears. During its 2006-2007 term, for instance, the Court reversed or vacated 68 percent of the cases before it. The rate was 73.6 percent the previous term." - Reply to this comment

Looks like you are the koolaid drinker.
(This quote is from the SAME website you bragged that backed you up)
"Of the majority opinions that Judge Sonia Sotomayor has authored since becoming an appellate judge in 1998, three of them have been overturned by the Supreme Court.
Our search for appellate opinions by Sotomayor on the LexisNexis database returned 232 cases. That's a reversal rate of 1.3 percent.
But only five of her decisions have been reviewed by the justices.
Using five as a denominator, the rate comes out to 60 percent."
If she had that bad of a rate, do you 'really' think she would still be a judge?????????
"In a pigs eye she would" No Judge can stay on the bench with a 60% failure rate...
You are so full of it.....ssssshhhhheeeeeesssssshhhhh

I find it very alarming that a person is being considered a "shoo-in" for the Supreme Court, when THE MAJORITY OF HER DECISIONS that were reviewed by the high Court were overturned.
Obviously her reasoning is incompatible with the Court's standards.
Why would anybody want a person on the Court when the Court has already declared her unfit by a simple review of her rulings??? - Reply to this comment

How many of those 232 were reviewed by the Supreme Court?
You're using bogus math.
Excellent point.
Of her 232 rulings, only FIVE were ever reviewed / deemed reviewable by the Supreme Court.
That's a WHOPPING 2.15% of ALL of her rulings, were "questionable enough" to be considered for review by the Supreme Court. - Reply to this comment

Not to mention that the SCOTUS has overturned 81% now of her racist unconstitutional cases they've heard.
Seems like the woman has NO CLUE what our Constitutions actually says."
That's what you get for listening to Limbaugh: you end up sounding as stupid as he is, and you sound like you're just as much of a liar:

"Q: What percentage of Sonia Sotomayor's opinions have been overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court?
Have Judge Sotomayor's decisions really been overturned 80 percent of the time as Rush Limbaugh stated on May 26?

- Leave it to a republican to completely ignore her actual RECORD on the bench, one of the longest of ANY supreme court nominee, to guess at what she thinks or speculate about what she might be thinking.
