jbg Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 And they agreed the case was handled inappropriately. That is fact.But there is a mystery in Sotomayor's recent history: a brief, unsigned opinion in the difficult race case now before the Supreme Court, Ricci v. DeStefano. Sotomayor punted when Ricci came before her, to such a degree that she raised more questions than she answered. In an unusual short and unsigned opinion, a panel of three judges, including Sotomayor, adopted the district court judge's ruling without adding their own analysis. As Judge Jose Cabranes put it, in protesting this ruling later in the appeals process, "Indeed, the opinion contains no reference whatsoever to the constitutional claims at the core of this case. … This perfunctory disposition rests uneasily with the weighty issues presented by this appeal." If Sotomayor and her colleagues were trying to shield the case from Supreme Court review, her punt had the opposite effect. Slate That would be Judge Jose Cabranes, a Clinton appointee. And it's nice that Ms. Sotomayor didn't want to legislate from the bench. But one still has to follow proper procedure, and those involved in the case still deserved an opinion/answer as to why they were rejected. She should have handled it professionally, instead of like amateur-hour. The Supreme Court of the United States ins't a place for such amateurs. It is actually quite common for an appellate court to affirm a lower court without adding anything, in effect adopting the lower court's reasoning.

punked Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Charlie Crist Republican Governor of Florida is such a reverse racist. It is like he listens too much to reverse racist Sotomayor damn republicans. TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Charlie Crist ran afoul of the state Constitution when he refused to fill an appeals court seat because all of the picks submitted to him were white, the Florida Supreme Court unanimously ruled.The high court also ruled Thursday that Crist must make a judicial selection from the all-white list of six names for the Fifth District Court of Appeal in Daytona Beach. Crist, complaining Dec. 1 that none of ''three well-qualified African-Americans'' made the cut, asked the nominating commission to send him more names. But the commission refused. http://www.mcclatchydc.com/homepage/story/71230.html Edited July 3, 2009 by punked Quote

Appellate courts expediting their caseloads is a wise way to discourage litigants of abusing judicial procedures. Quote
