Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
In another thread the HA swineflu weasel crew thought the conservatives would lose big time if they voted against Sotomayor for her leftist views. Well to use the Chucky Schumer phrase…”far beyond the mainstream” is a great way to define Sotomayor. Evaluate her statement at Duke University below…
“Court of Appeals is where policy is made. And I know, I know this is on tape and I know I shouldn’t say that because we don’t make law, I know.” – Sotomayor Puddy thought the Congress is where law is made. Who changed the US Constitution?
Puddy remembers when Miguel Estrada was placed for nomination in 2001 you leftist pinheads went apoplectic over him. Estrada was nominated by GWB in May 2001, but Senate Democrats filibustered to block his approval. So Puddy thinks turn about is fair play. This is why you HA swineflu weasels are leftist pinheads. No memory!
But this is even funnier to remember. Puddy also remembers how the leftist pinheads (Congressional Black Caucii in particular) in Congress got the lace panties all twisted over Janice Brown for the Court of Appeals? Janice Brown, is a pro-life black judge who serves on the California Supreme Court. Well she is still on the CA Supreme Court. And guess who lost their battle on gay marriage to the CA?

More about Sotomayor
Dabit vs. Merrill Lynch (2005), 395 F.3d 25 – Unanimously overturned by SCOTUS! – “The federal interest in overseeing securities market cases prevails, and that doing otherwise could give rise to wasteful, duplicative litigation.”
Knight vs. Commissioner (2006), 467 F.3d 149: In 2006 SCOTUS upheld Sotomayor’s decision but unanimously rejected the reasoning she adopted, saying that her approach “flies in the face of the statutory language.”
Tasini vs. New York Times, et al (1997), 972 F. Supp. 804: – The appellate court reversed District Judge Sotomayor’s decision, siding with the freelancers, and SCOTUS upheld the appellate decision (therefore rejecting Sotomayor’s original ruling).
Malesko v. Correctional Services Corp. (2000), 299 F.3d 374: Sotomayor, writing for the court in 2000, supported the right of an individual to sue a private corporation working on behalf of the federal government for alleged violations of that individual’s constitutional rights. SCOTUS reversed Sotomayor’s ruling.
Empire Healthchoice Assurance, Inc. vs. McVeigh (2005), 396 F.3d 136: In 2005, Sotomayor ruled against a health insurance company that sued the estate of a deceased federal employee who received $157,000 in insurance benefits as the result of an injury. The Supreme Court upheld Sotomayor’s ruling
Riverkeeper, Inc. vs. EPA (2007), 475 F.3d 83: Sotomayor, writing for a three-judge panel, ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency may not engage in a cost-benefit analysis in implementing a rule that the “best technology available” must be used to limit the environmental impact of power plants on nearby aquatic life. The Supreme Court reversed Sotomayor’s ruling
Ricci v. DeStefano (2008), 530 F.3d 87: Sotomayor was part of a three-judge panel that ruled in February 2008 to uphold a lower court decision supporting the City of New Haven’s decision to throw out the results of an exam to determine promotions within the city’s fire department. Only one Hispanic and no African-American firefighters qualified for promotion based on the exam; the City subsequently decided not to certify the results and issued no promotions. In June 2008, Sotomayor was part of a 7-6 majority to deny a rehearing of the case by the full court. SCOTUS heard oral arguments in April 2009.

Wikipedia says – Hispanic (Spanish: hispano, hispánico) is a term that historically denoted a relationship to the ancient Hispania (geographically coinciding with the Iberian Peninsula). Looks like Spain and Portugal.
Another TJ spews:
Ahem:
During the modern era, it took on a more limited meaning, relating to the contemporary nation of Spain.
Still more recently, the term is used to describe the culture and people of countries formerly ruled by Spain, usually with a majority of the population having Spanish ancestry and speaking the Spanish language. These include Mexico, the majority of the Central and South American countries, and most of the Greater Antilles. There are also Spanish influences in the African nation of Equatorial Guinea,[1] and the cultures of the Spanish East Indies’ nations and territories, the Philippines, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.[2]

Sotomayor is tough on crime. That’s good.
However, her recent racist decision about the white firefighters and her comment that a Latina woman could reach a better decision than a white man definitely deserve scrutiny.
If that’s all there is and she explains them reasonably…she will be confirmed easily. HOWEVER, if there are more examples of racism in her past decisions, speeches or papers…that’s not good.

Why should she get a pass simply because of race & gender?

Goodness Another Total Jerk, Puddy put the cases on record above. CNN reporting is held higher than Talking Points Memo.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — It’s not just lawyers who face a tough audience in the nine members of the U.S. Supreme Court. Federal judges themselves frequently have a difficult time in persuading the nation’s high court on matters of law, as Judge Sonia Sotomayor can personally attest.
Over the course of almost 17 years on the federal bench, Sotomayor has written opinions on at least eight cases that the Supreme Court later reviewed on appeal, according to a CNN analysis of Sotomayor’s cases. Of those cases, six were either overturned or sent back to the lower court for further consideration. One case was upheld, but Sotomayor’s legal reasoning was panned in the opinion signed by entire court. An eighth case is still being deliberated.
Sotomayor issued seven of the rulings while serving in her current post on the U.S. Court of Appeals; the eighth ruling stemmed from a case she presided over as a district court judge in 1997.
In three of the cases where Sotomayor was overturned, the newest Supreme Court nominee had the same or similar position as the jurist she hopes to replace, Justice David Souter.
So for the moron AKA Another Total Jerk, where did Puddy stray from the truth? NOWHERE Fool!

Here is more from Puddy’s Partial Punditry as the Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition
OMG, I think Puddy might actually start to understand exactly what “Partial Punditry” means. After I’ve cited a number of sources, including sources that Puddy has already pointed to, saying, essentially, that the definition of “hispanic” is, at best, rather fluid when it comes to people of Portuguese descent, Puddy finds one source, and a source that is itself not entirely conclusive, and declares victory for himself.
Yup. I don’t think I could have come up with a more classic example where Puddy chooses to ignore mountains of evidence that happens to disagree with his conclusion for the sake of one piece of evidence that well, kinda sorta, backs him up. Partial Punditry indeed.
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
Once again Don Joe proves he can’t read let alone comprehend…
Using the Wiki article
With all four of his grandparents being from the Iberian Peninsula, Cardozo is the only Supreme Court justice to be of Hispanic (Latino, Ibero-American) descent.
Cardozo was the first Hispanic (Latino, Ibero-American) and second person of Jewish descent, after Louis Brandeis, to be appointed to the Supreme Court.
Golly Don Joe and his partial punditry said:
Wrong again fool!
And there are more on-line dictionaries which claim Portuguese. So Puddy chose Merriam-Webster. But Don Joe doesn’t want to talk about that. Of course, it’s like throwing water on his barely lit fire.
Regarding his “mountains of evidence”, the term his panic changed over the years.
From Wikipedia –
The 1970 Census was the first time that a “Hispanic” identifier was used and data collected with the question. The definition of “Hispanic” has been modified in each successive census. The 2000 Census asked if the person was “Spanish/Hispanic/Latino”.[13]
The U.S. Office of Management and Budget currently defines “Hispanic or Latino” as “a person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race”.[14] This definition excludes people of Portuguese origins, such as Portuguese Americans or Brazilian Americans. However, they are included in some government agencies’ definitions. For example, the U.S. Department of Transportation defines Hispanic to include, “persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Central or South American, or others Spanish or Portuguese culture or origin, regardless of race.”[15] This definition has been adopted by the Small Business Administration as well as many federal, state, and municipal agencies for the purposes of awarding government contracts to minority owned businesses. Still, other government agencies adopt definitions that exclude people from Spain. Some others include people from Brazil, but not Spain or Portugal.

Here’s the Wikipedia entry as I type this comment. Note, only one instance of the word “hispanic,” and that’s exactly the one I mentioned in my comment 43.
So, where does Puddy get all that extra text that’s not found in either versions of the Wikipedia article on Justice Cardozo? I’m guessing it’s from some other edit of the page, and that there are some wingnuts out there trying to get the word “Hispanic” into the Wikipedia article which keeps getting edited out by those who are actually concerned about the article’s accuracy.
All of this is, yet again, an example of the Puddy Parade of Partial Punditry. Puddy doesn’t ever tell us all the relevant facts.
But, here’s the funny part. Puddy spews:

Looks like par for the course. But that fact is lost on Don Joe.

Getting reversed by this Supreme Court should be an honor for any judge. Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, and Alito wouldn’t know a constitutional principle from a hedgehog. Sotomayor’s reversal rate would only matter if we had a decent Supreme Court. We don’t. We have an ideologically-inclined Court (with exceptions, of course) that cares more about serving wingnuttery than the law. You wouldn’t understand that, though.

Here’s the Wikipedia entry as I type this comment. It now contains the following sentence
Notice how this is very different from the text the Puddy quoted in his comment @ 44. Notice how I’m not hiding facts the way Puddy has.
Don Joe forgets to say the rejection rate is based on the accepted cases.
First of all, Puddy neglects to say why it would be necessary for me to point out anything when I linked to the original article.
Second, if Puddy is going to chastise me for not mentioning facts in that article, then why doesn’t Puddy mention this:
Puddy seems to think that it’s option 2, because way back at comment 32, Puddy said:
If a ruling made sense, why take it to the SCOTUS. If the ruling didn’t make sense it gets appealed.
In comment 42. I agreed with that sentiment, and asked Puddy:
Now, how many of Judge Sotomayor’s decisions made sense enough that they were either never appealed to the Supreme Court or were appealed to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court denied cert?
Puddy hasn’t answered that question. Maybe he’s been too busy cherry-picking specific edits of Justice Cardozo’s Wikipedia entry to answer my question, but I doubt it. Puddy just doesn’t care to share all of the facts with us.

Puddy should start prefacing all of his comments with “BULSHITTIUM[sic]”, because we can be rather certain that whatever Puddy posts is loaded with bullshit.
Did Puddy disclose the fact that the Wikipedia page he cited has a source has undergone a number of edits regarding Justice Cardozo’s ethnic background? No. I had to point that out.
Moreover, this is really all about Puddy’s claim back at 14 that:
You leftists are a bunch of liars.
Well, gosh, one can reasonably argue, as the evidence of the variety of edits of the Wikipedia entry shows, that Justice Cardozo was not hispanic. Therefore, Puddy’s claim that people on the left are all lying about the hispanic issue is dismissed with prejudice. Epic fail.
Puddy further spews:
Regarding his original article Puddy doesn’t read anything referred to by a libtard swineflu weasel from Talking Points Memo.
Well, of course. That’s the point. Puddy chooses not to be fully informed, which is what gives rise to the Puddy Parade of Partial Punditry. It’s good to see Puddy admit this. Why Puddy thinks that anyone else ought to be impressed by Puddy’s self-imposed ignorance is a question only Puddy can answer.
Lastly, Puddy spews:
Fool, Puddy doesn’t know why the SCOTUS makes it’s rulings to review or not review en banc. Not my call.
I never asked Puddy to explain why the Supreme Court decides or doesn’t decide to review cases from lower courts. I asked Puddy:
