| Description | Sonia Sotomayor is registered as an Independent, and is considered a centrist by the American Bar Association, based on their analysis of her case rulings. Her opinions tend to focus more on strict legal analysis than on personal or ideological philosophy.
Sotomayor is known for being well prepared and knowledgeable about cases tried in, or reviewed by, her court. Her background as a social activist has not undermined her ability to make balanced decisions, nor has it shown bias toward any group or cause. For example, the ABA noted that she rejected 45 of the 50 racial discrimination cases they studied in forming their conclusion.
Although some ultra-conservative figures, like Rush Limbaugh, characterize her as being both extremely liberal and racist, this accusation is not borne by the evidence. |
