GOP leader: Sotomayor ruling ‘troubling’ - White House- msnbc.com

GOP leader: Sotomayor ruling ‘troubling’ - White House- msnbc.com: "The Senate's top Republican suggested Tuesday that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor lets racial bias cloud her rulings, even as a national lawyers' group rated her 'well-qualified' to be a justice.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Sotomayor's federal appeals court ruling last year against white firefighters alleging reverse discrimination leaves the impression she allows her own agenda to affect her judgment and she favors certain groups."

Perhaps he should read the law before this last Supreme Court ruling. She followed the law at the time, until the Supreme Court just over ruled it. Perhaps, if she had ruled differently, this Senator would be saying she did not follow the law.
