How are you getting 11 of 44? Are you counting the actual breakdown of cases reversed - 7-2 in one case for example as being 7 reversals? That’s not how it works. If one of her cases was reversed, it’s one case reversed. I noted the Tasani case that dealt with copyright infringement, and it affirmed the ruling by the Court of Appeals, which overruled Sotomayor’s trial court ruling. That case had a 7-2 majority, with Ginsberg delivering the majority opinion.

It’s just one case out of many heard by the Supreme Court, which were overturned. I’m still trying to dig up the actual reversal rate.
