re: #732 Charles

Some interesting rulings in there — she does not look like anyone’s idea of a “liberal activist.” Her decisions are pretty moderate overall.

For example, social conservatives ought to be pretty happy about this one:

Abortion

In Center for Reproductive Law and Policy v. Bush,[44] Sotomayor upheld the Bush administration’s implementation of the Mexico City Policy which requires foreign organizations receiving U.S. funds to “neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations”. Sotomayor held that the policy did not constitute a violation of equal protection, as the government “is free to favor the anti-abortion position over the pro-choice position, and can do so with public funds”.

And yet they’re up in arms.
