What Ricci Means
Tom Goldstein of SCOTUSblog parses how the Supreme Court overturning Ricci will impact Sotomajor's nomination:
In the end, it seems to me that the Supreme Court's decision in Ricci is an outright rejection of the lower courts' analysis of the case, including by Judge Sotomayor. But on the other hand, the Court recognizes that the issue was unsettled. The fact that the Court's four more liberal members would affirm the Second Circuit shows that Judge Sotomayor's views were far from outlandish and put her in line with Judge Souter, who she will replace.
