>>but from what I've seen of them they aren't "the most important evidence" because they aren't strong evidence in either direction. To be important evidence they first have to be evidence of something.<< I suppose that statement could be true, for instance if one assumes that "from what I've seen of them" means "as I haven't seen any". FWIW, here's someone who has actually researched her cases. Not "what he has seen of them", but really, "her cases"... scotusblog.com "...In sum, in an eleven-year career on the Second Circuit, Judge Sotomayor has participated in roughly 100 panel decisions involving questions of race and has disagreed with her colleagues in those cases (a fair measure of whether she is an outlier) a total of 4 times. Only one case (Gant) in that entire eleven years actually involved the question whether race discrimination may have occurred. (In another case (Pappas) she dissented to favor a white bigot.) She particulated in two other panels rejecting district court rulings agreeing with race-based jury-selection claims. Given that record, it seems absurd to say that Judge Sotomayor allows race to infect her decisionmaking."
