BofA Under Secret Sanction

Judge Sotomayor is a liberal judicial activist of the first order who thinks her own personal political agenda is more important that the law as written. She thinks that judges should dictate policy, and that one's sex, race, and ethnicity ought to affect the decisions one renders from the bench.
She reads racial preferences and quotas into the Constitution, even to the point of dishonoring those who preserve our public safety. On September 11, America saw firsthand the vital role of America's firefighters in protecting our citizens. They put their lives on the line for her and the other citizens of New York and the nation. But Judge Sotomayor would sacrifice their claims to fair treatment in employment promotions to racial preferences and quotas. The Supreme Court is now reviewing that decision.
She has an extremely high rate of her decisions being reversed, indicating that she is far more of a liberal activist than even the current liberal activist Supreme Court.
Ruth Marcus continues the nonsense Barbara Boxer started this time.
Marcus writes:
Having more than one woman on the Supreme Court is partly a matter of symbolism. Before O'Connor's retirement three years ago, Ginsburg said in a speech last month at Ohio State, "people could see that women came in all sizes and shapes, we didn't look alike, and we didn't talk alike. . . . Now, there I am all alone, and it doesn't look right."
The Supreme Court is the highest court in the land, which, as we know, wields a tremendous power and has a significant responsibility. With but nine seats, there is no room for the Court to be a forum for "symbolism." We know there are capable women lawyers in the world for the Court. Obama is free to pick one of them. But by no means does he have to. And it would be a very bad idea to make the Court an experiment in bean-counting rather than excellence and committment to the Constitution.
