Arizona & Arpaio in Federal Court

[scottban]

28. Debunk the below case law and save Sotomayor, legal expert

However, when the Second Circuit issued its decision - written by Justice Sonia Sotomayor - the Court amazingly applied the wrong standard of review, as follows:

UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the judgment of the District Court is here by AFFIRMED.

Plaintiff appeals from a final judgment granting summary judgment for defendants. Plaintiff argues on appeal that his federal and state constitutional rights to due process and equal protection of the laws were violated because of various conflicts of interest in the prosecutor's office. For the reasons stated by the District Court in its Ruling on Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment of November 27, 2002, we hold that none of these challenges rise to the level of reversible error.

We have considered all of plaintiff's claims on appeal and found them to be without merit. We here by AFFIRM the judgment of the District Court.

Aside from violating bedrock Second Circuit case law on the standard of review for motions for summary judgment, Justice Sotomayor also violated bedrock law on the standard in every federal circuit in the entire country. For example:

Clearly Justice Sotomayor got it wrong in a big way. So wrong, not one federal appeals court in the United States would acted in a manner so frighteningly ignorant of basic appellate law. Only Sotomayor.
