Sam Stein, at Huffington Post is wrong

Yet another ignorant liberal trying to talk about how LAWS are made.
The point is if Sonia Sotomayor is correct when she says "the court of appeals is where policy is made." Sam Stein argues that she is correct in the context of her speech at Duke University. Jeffery Segal of Stony Brook University agrees with Sam Stein and Sonia Sotomayer.
Eric Freeman, a law professor at Hostra also agrees.
They are all wrong and ignorant or blantantly partisan with respect to their support of Sotomayor.
Segal says

"So when justices come up with a decision on that, they would be making policy."

They DO NOT MAKE POLICY except in the case where the legislators are afraid to make policy. This is what actually happens. Legislators are afraid to come out on something which they know they can not legislate. They then have their interest groups bring a case to the federal courts where ultra-libs like Sonia Sotomayor rule in their favor. Many people then consider this to be "policy" or "the law." It is no such thing. The legislators are responsible for then taking this ruling and passing a bill, which would then codify this ruling. Thus, legislators make the laws not judges. This is so simple but here we have law school professors who don't even know the law!!!
Freedman goes on to say,

"I would be surprised if you got a different opinion from a fair-minded observer in the legal world," he added.

Well, then Mr Freedman they are NOT FOLLOWING the law, they are interpreting according to their "feelings." That is NOT what judges are supposed to do and that is one of the problems America faces today.
Sonia Sotomayor was really picked because she is a female and a "Latina." She surely isn't a judicial heavyweight.
