PROOF THAT SOTOMOYER IS OUTSIDE THE MAINSTREAM

SOTOMAYOR IS...

  • A liberal judge thinks that it’s proper to indulge her own identity in deciding cases.
  • A liberal judge celebrates “the importance of indefiniteness in the law” and the “unpredictability” that results when a judge “develop[s] a novel approach” that “pushes the law in a new direction.”
  • A liberal judge resorts to shenanigans to bury the claims of white firefighters that they’ve been discriminated against on the basis of their race.
  • A liberal judge favors campaign-finance restrictions over the First Amendment.
  • A liberal judge embraces novel equal-protection theories that would compromise public safety.
  • A liberal judge publicly cheerleads liberal politicians.
  • A liberal judge excuses her own acts of discrimination.
  • A liberal judge thinks that Supreme Court justices are entitled to make policy.
  • A liberal judge hides her support for racial quotas behind gauzy euphemisms.
  • A liberal judge commends lawsuits that promote abortion and illegal immigration and that undermine welfare reform.
SOTOMAYOR IS A VERY VERY VERY LIBERAL JUDGE WHO IS OUTSIDE THE MAINSTREAM; THEREFORE - DESPITE HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS - SHE DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE ELEVATED TO THE SCOTUS.
