The New Haven case was not settl...I think I would. The New Haven case was not settled by Sotomayor acting alone, but with two other judges. The law in the case was apparently pretty bright line stuff. The decision did not throw out the test - that was done several courts earlier. Rather, the decision did not reinstate the test. <br /><br />The case has been heard by the Supremes recently. Be interesting to hear what they have to say on it - but the New Haven case is actually an example of Sotomayor not legislating from the bench. <br /><br />In other cases, she's upheld the free speech rights of supremacist groups. <br /><br />She is a hard judge to persuade on all sorts of discrimination cases, not seeing it proven in four-fifths of the actions which come to her. (How many of those are traditional and how many reverse, I do not know.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
