Some obviously will only look at one statement that suits their agenda as opposed to her actions in 10+ years on the federal bench.
Quote:
Judge Sotomayor has decided 96 race-related cases" while on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit...
..."Of the 96 cases, Judge Sotomayor and the panel rejected the claim of discrimination roughly 78 times and agreed with the claim of discrimination 10 times....
..."Of the roughly 75 panel opinions rejecting claims of discrimination, Judge Sotomayor dissented 2 times,...
...."In sum, in an eleven-year career on the Second Circuit, Judge Sotomayor has participated in roughly 100 panel decisions involving questions of race and has disagreed with her colleagues in those cases (a fair measure of whether she is an outlier) a total of 4 times. ... Given that record, it seems absurd to say that Judge Sotomayor allows race to infect her decisionmaking."
