After hearing that Judge Sonya Sotomayor was elected for the Supreme Court I personally did not care. However, after learning more about whom she was, the way she has ruled on pass cases and the direction that she usually goes towards in judging her cases I started to really have second thoughts about if this women truly was someone that was going to be any good for our Supreme court. It appears that I was not the only one that thought this way. There are many articles out there on the internet projecting the concerns people that with her becoming a judge for the highest level of court our country has to offer. When you are a judge on the Supreme Court it is your duty to make sure that you are providing a fair and unbiased decision when you are ruling a case that sits in front of you. Unfortunately you are not allowed to let your personal feelings and emotions take over when giving the overall deciding factor in the case. Otherwise if this was to happen you ultimately would not have anyone to judge the case base on the facts that have been presented, along with matching those facts against the law that our founding fathers and constants have put in place. I reviewed a few cases on the internet that Judge Sotomayor sat on the bench for, and I just say its very apparent that she sometimes lets her personal feelings contradict the law that is on the books, I read one case where in my opinion it was ruled correctly at the circuit level, however, after it touched her bench it was reversed stating that gender discrimination occurred, and for that an extremely large award was placed in favor of the plaintiff who filed the law suit to begin with.
