I thought Roberts and Alito were fine picks as well. Wonder what your thoughts are. Liberal dems fought them and Obama voted against Roberts for political reasons although he was inclined to support. I think if we can get competent jurists regardless of ideology and as long as they are in mainstream and have integrity, we will be OK. Bush picked 2 reasonalbe conservatives (forget Miers for a minute) and now Obama picking center left. I have no problem with this.

CJ, > According to figures, The USSC overturns about 3 quarters of the decisions that they decide to take on.

Got a link to that? I figured it would be more like 50%, not 75%. Either that, or the mere fact that the Supreme Court would hear a case means that there is a high likelihood the decision would be overturned.

Either way, that puts Sotomayor's 60% overturn rate in the proper perspective.
