Here’s the big money quote from Sotomayor about the appeals courts being where policy is made, in the context of how she made it. She’s talking about the comparison of how a district judge has to how an appeals judge has to think, in terms of scope and application of the law.
I like how she explains the difference between the two types of judges, and don’t see this stance of hers as being problematic at all. President Obama has made a wise decision in choosing her to be elevated to the Surpremes.
