Obama picks Sotomayor for high court

[Bonestorm]

And I'm referring to the reversal rate of case that made it to the SCOTUS. She gets an "F".

But you are looking at 6 of 380 opinions she has authored. That's just stupid.

I'm looking at all that went to appeal at the highest level.

OK, now we're getting somewhere. I was referring to the overall reversal rate, not the reversal rate of any particular judge. The overall reversal rate is around 75%.

Its misleading, though, because the Court only hears 80 cases a year, and is likely to pick up ones that it feels need to be addressed for some reason.

she had 3, and soon to be 4, cases reversed on 6 heard by USSC after nearly 80 opinions? the numbers here aren't important anymore, what will be though are the 3 cases that were reversed. anyone know what they were?

One of them was for early parole for child molestors.
Another was making it a felony to not have your pet spayed.
The last one was mandatory marriage if you kiss a girl.
