In the case of Ricci v. DeStefano, we see that the newly appointed justice has been publicly seen as a completely liberal Justice. After ruling that the firefighters that had passed the test to be promoted were not to be because they were White or Hispanic. Is was the black firefighters who were promoted based solely on there color. I am just a little worried that this may be the first show of many of Sotomayor and here views in action.
Well since Sotomayor is going to be replacing Souter it there shouldn’t be a shift in the overall attitude of the court. Replacing a liberal with a liberal and a conservative with a conservative seems like the best way of replacing justices. The problem, of course would be to find a completely center judge for the tie-breaking vote, seems like that would be a good model for our highest court.
