Prior appointments: Nominated by Senior President Bush to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in 1991.

TG: Oh look! She was put into the federal judiciary by Poppa George Bush! She must be a conservative, like the guy she is replacing, David Souter.

See the difference it makes when we have Republicans appointing judges rather than Democrats? Bush appointed a conservative female judge named Sonia Sotomayer. Obama is naming a liberal dyke judge named Sonia Sotomayer. We should protest Obama's liberal appointment, but support Bush's conservative appointment.

* Wrote the opinion and upheld the Mexico City Policy prohibiting federal funding of overseas abortions

* Held that a revocation of plaintiffs permit to use the town hall annex for their worship services violated the First Amendment because the policy granted the town unfettered discretion to deny applications in Amandola v. Town of Babylon.

* Held that the interest of avoiding violations of the Establishment Clause on some public properties . . . not closely associated with the seat of government did not constitute a compelling justification for content-based restrictions on expressive conduct in Flamer v. City of White Plains

TG: See there? She is at least as conservative as the guy she is replacing, David Souter.
