Um, how on earth is a supreme court nominee supposed to be a good judge when her record shows that her decisions do not stack up?
And we’re not talking about 10 or 20% here, or even a majority. Sotomayor’s “fail” rate is now a whopping 66%!
That’s not someone who should be on an appellate bench, let alone the top court in the USA, who can override even the congress and president.
It also makes you wonder how lax Obama’s screening was, for a whopper like that (before the last decision, the rate was 60% – still extremely high and wrong more often than not) to miss his attention.
Update: Ok, now I read that 4 out of 6 have been overturned. So that percentage is not quite fair, it’s just the percentage that were referred to the higher court. Clearly a lot of the remainder would be fine or they’d have been referred too.
