Report : Sotomayor Not an Activist Judge, More of a Go With the Flow Type
8:44 am By Maegan la Mamita Mala · Justice|Politics · Comments Off
13 Jul 2009I’ve been cramming for the Sotomayor confirmation hearings and just finished reading through a report that statistically looks at some of her court decisions and shows that she’s tended to go with the flow on decisions, rather than be a rogue, activist judge as some have portrayed her, and will likely portray her in the coming days.
I like activists but I understand how in the context of the U.S political system, being called an activist isn’t seen as a good thing. It’s better to be mainstream.
Sotomayor Confirmation Hearings Jump Off Today

This morning the Senate nomination hearing of Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court begin this morning at 10.
The first Latina nominee has gotten plenty of press coverage, with more attention paid to stereotypes used against her and her health than her work.
I’m going to try and cover as much of the hearings as I can here this morning before heading off to work (which will likely only be from 10-11 am).
