well, as a lower court judge, kavanaugh had 13 opinions get reviewed by SCOTUS, they affirmed 12 and reversed 1.
Sotomayor had 5 opinions get reviewed and 2 got overturned, one unanimously.
What does that suggest, Pete?

Washington (CNN)Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor made a significant false claim on Friday about Covid-19's impact on children.
I bet Kavanaugh rolled his eyes when she said this

She also famously said this about judges of different gender and race...
"a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."
She said that white men have inferior life experiences compared to female Latinas. Saying something that bigoted, would get you instantly banned from jury duty. But apparently it doesn't preclude you from being on the Supreme Court for life.

Again Jim post this again with no context
a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life
white male who hasn't lived that life
Not sure Jim how you twisted that comment to be bigoted
Oh wait I do she called out bias
And that triggered your white victimhood
How dare a person of color speak the Truth

here's all the context you need wayne...
"Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor backed away from a now-famous quotation from one of her speeches, saying her comment about a “wise Latina” judge had fallen flat, and was “a bad idea.”
The statement was made in contrast to a familiar quote from former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor who often said that she did not view herself as a female jurist. Instead, she said that a wise old man and a wise old woman would reach the same result as judges."

Yes if those 2 wise people had the same experience in life
That would be a true statement

you posted the same exact quote I did, with no additional context. None.
And i’m not sure how anyone can pretend that’s not textbook bigotry.
she said explicitly, that being hispanic and female allows one to acquire more wisdom than a white man can acquire. Because our experience is inferior.
I notice being a female latina ( and all the inherent wisdom contained therein) didn’t prevent her from making a fool of herself when she said there were many more kids hospitalized with covid than actually are.
Nor did all that wisdom prevent her from being unanimously overturned by SCOTUS when she was a lower judge.
When Ginsberg and Scalia and everyone in between says you were wrong in the law, that means you were really wrong. Doesn’t it?
She’s not bigoted! She just thinks female Latinas are more wise than white men. That’s not bigoted at all!

Now it’s my job to make your case?
Again your just upset a brown person called out Bias
Basically saying Try walking in my shoes before YOU Aka WHITE DUDE . Tells me how easy it was or how I should have walked
The line was almost identical every time:
"I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion."
That sentence, or a similar one, has appeared in speeches Sotomayor delivered in 1994, 1999, 2002, 2004 and 2001. In that speech, she included the phrase "than a white male who hasn't lived that life" at the end, which sparked cries of racism from some Republicans.
Look at that what a shocker cries of racism from some Republicans
How that for context Jim and Scott
You 2 are like a moths to the flame
parroting Republicans talking point wash rinse and repeat

Jim leaves out she ruled on over 300 cases but Amy 75 overall
Brett at least did 12 years on the bench

That's worth noting, sure.
How many times was Barrett overturned, unanimously, on appeal?
How many times did Barrett say that her race and gender result in more wisdom than any other race or gender?
