Sonia Sotomayor is a right wing conservative fascist!

She is Pro-Life (Center for Reproductive Law and Policy v. Bush), pro big-business and anti-privacy (Leventhal v. Knapek), and pro-racism/anti-black (Pappas v. Giuliani)!

You can certainly pick isolated cases and say she's a supporter of just about anything, or you can honestly represent her judicial work as a whole. Beware of the talking heads and sound-bite journalism.

Many Oregon Insurance Arbitration Clauses Violate State Law

The link below is to a bulletin of a national insurance industry periodical. It warns insurance companies that the Oregon Insurance Commission is on the look out for violations of Oregon law regarding arbitration clauses in insurance policies.

In Oregon, an insurance policy cannot require that an insured submit to arbitration without the insured's consent. The state of Oregon has a long-time respect for the right to trial by jury. Article I, section 17 of the Oregon Constitution provides: "In all civil cases the right of Trial by Jury shall remain inviolate."
