Maybe it's simply the case that the job requires a lot of paperwork and statement taking, so that is emphasized. Have you considered that, numbskull?

Actually, Justice Ginsburg addressed this very point in her dissent and detailed the evidence considered by the City before refusing to certify the test results concerning whether the written examination was an adequate means of assessing whether an applicant could perform the tasks of the job as opposed to whether an applicant can remember stuff in a text book. There was substantial evidence that the oral examination was a better means of assessing an applicant's ability to perform the requirements of the job that the written examination.
So yes, I did consider that but I determined based on the available evidence that it was not true.

All other jobs I know depend more heavily on written word and documentation of events. I believe some idiot probably made up the bogus "evidence" you speak of.
What was the methodology on determining which skill was more important in doing the job? Sounds like a bunch of poo to me.
There is a link to the opinion, including the dissent, in the second post on this thread. You can feel free to review it at your leisure.
I am assuming you are not a Circuit Court Judge...! Right?
well maybe the Quality control in circuit court is more in line with public jobs then private jobs so ill ask the question. IS having a 60% reversal rate on majority decisions considered average?

That is not the stick by which Judges are measured, at least not at that level, especally when the decisions are based on ideological lines instead of based on legal interpertation.
It might be a bit complicated for you!

anyhooo, if the courts were to tackle it on that substance alone, half the ninth circuit would have been oustered by now.
im not judging the judge just her record. BTW are you a white lawyer? what percent of population in your district are white.. and what percentage of the lawyers are white. if there are more white lawyers then minority lawyers then Judge Sotomayor thinks you should give up your job for a minority.

What's basis of this assertion? What makes whites so superior?
1. Where do you get that idea from?
2. A Judge's record is much much more than how often she is overturned.
3. Do you realize that the oninion she was overturned on was a majority opinion...she was not alone in her decision, in fact the MAJORITY of the judges from her panel were overturned.
4. You should not talk so much about things you do not know much about. It makes you look like an idiot.

Your link says Bush Sr. but your post was talking about W. that's where I got confused.
Please...
From your link:
Sotomayor was nominated by Bush as part of a compromise with Senate Democrats at the time to break a deadlock on judicial nominees. Under the agreement, then-Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a Democrat and senior member of the Judiciary Committee, was allowed to recommend judges for two of seven vacancies. One of his picks: Sotomayer.
So, we see that this was not a Bush selection. Interesting...

HE CHOSE SOTOMAYO, NOT the DEMS......there were other choices, possibly better ones depending upon your personal criteria or political leanings. Her record is right of center...and as the article showed a LOT of Republicans liked his choice. So for the neocons to try and BS that Sotomayor is wholly a Dem/liberal choice is NOT EXACTLY TRUE. Period. Deal with it.

It is confusing, since Daddy and the Shrub shared a similar if not exact cast of supporting characters. I just wanted to show that Sotomayor was NOT a Dem pick, per se.
No, he didn't. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a Democrat and senior member of the Judiciary committee did. He got to pick two of seven in that compromise deal. It's seriously disingenuous to blast past that fact to keep promoting this serious spin job.
