Maloney v. Cuomo, a January 2009 ruling, Sotomayor signed the opinion that the 2nd Amendment doesn't keep states from restricting the right to bear and keep arms. Say what? She thinks the law is only Federal. Straight quote from the opinion “It is settled law, however, that the Second Amendment applies only to limitations the federal government seeks to impose on this right.” A nominee to the Supreme Court believes this! Sotomayor sites some law that really doesn't apply, the 1886 Supreme Court case of Presser v. Illinois. Not being a legal person, I don't know, and really don't care, what that opinion said. Something else Sotomayor doesn't appear to know, is previous rulings by the Supreme Court regarding the Second Amendment. She also is apparently unaware of the 14th Amendment, which reads, in part: “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States … nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
She also thinks that it's okay to run power plants into the ground fiscally. Cost benefit analysis to protect little fishes and other aquatic life shouldn't apply; they must be protected regardless of the cost. Higher utility bills anyone? Because you know that cost would be passed on to consumers.
This individual is not qualified and not one Republican should vote for or recommend her.
