re: #517 Charles

That 80% figure is a distortion, probably floated deliberately to smear Sotomayor.

It is based on how many times SCOTUS justices voted not to uphold her opinions when they were before the court. She has only received 11 out of 44. It isn’t a reversal rate, yet a tally of justices agreeing with her ruling(s).
