Three of the five majority opinions written by Judge Sotomayor for the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals and reviewed by the Supreme Court were reversed, providing a potent line of attack raised by opponents Tuesday after President Obama announced he will nominate the 54-year-old Hispanic woman to the high court.
"Her high reversal rate alone should be enough for us to pause and take a good look at her record. Frankly, it is the Senates duty to do so," said Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America.

Oh, stop.
The right-wing Washington Times says "
Three of the five majority opinions written by Judge Sotomayor for the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals and reviewed by the Supreme Court were reversed."
But I look at it this way:
Three of the thousands of opinions written by Judge Sotomayor since she was elevated to the federal bench in 1992 were reversed by the Supreme Court.
60 percent reversal rate. Pull the other one.
