As if anyone still listens to Rush Limbaugh.

I only say it because i know it's not true.

Since the right cannot denounce Sotomayor for being a Hispanic woman without alienating both women and Hispanics, they've been spouting this nonsense about Sotomayor's "reversals" by the Supreme Court. The essence of this post over at Balloon Juice is that they are full of it, but it's really no surprise that Rush has no concept of how the judicial system works:

Rush says Sotomayor has been reversed 80% by the Supreme Court. We find out through various tortuous arguments that She has heard 380 cases of which only 6 have been reviewed by the Supremes. Of these only 3 have been overturned. So thats .8% are overturned. In the recent past The reversal rates for all cases heard by the Supremes are 61% and Sotomayor has been reversed 50% of the time.

In other words there is no there there, Rush is full of shit and the sun sets in the west.

I'm only irritated because i know people still buy this crap.
