David Wagner finds her concurrence in a Connecticut high-school-speech case called Doninger v. Niehoff (PDF) not only right on the legal merits, but just plain right, period. The unanimous panel opinion in Doninger was written by Judge Debra Livingston and joined by Sotomayor and (longtime Point of Law favorite) Judge Loretta Preska. Critics of Sotomayor have their say in this AP/NBC Connecticut piece and this New Britain (Ct.) Herald News piece; see also Citizen Media Law. More: NSBA.
