Video: Sotomayor – Appeals Court is Where Policy Is Made …

Oopsie.

Perhaps when Judge Sonia Sotomayor was on a panel at Duke University and told the audience that “All of the legal defense funds out there, they’re looking for people with court of appeals experience, because it is – Court of Appeals is where policy is made …” she wasn’t thinking about facing the fire breathing dragons on the right during Senate confirmation hearings.

Let’s just say that explaining this statement is the first chapter of her briefing book.  She’s a smart lady, she’ll do it.  It should also be noted that “morgenr” the person who posted this video to YouTube only posted around 20 seconds of what was surely a longer statement.
