Ive read a few more articles on other rulings of Sotomayor , there is one where she appoligized to a non-citizen drug dealer for having to give him the mandatory minimum sentence because she felt he was a product of his enviroment and she basically said that she felt bad that he wouldnt be able to rejoin his family sooner.
There is also another interesting ruling concerning a man who was convicted of child molestation years before and the suspicion that he was down loading child pornography onto his computer , the law wanted to confiscate his computer but the judge decided that just because he molested a child before didnt mean that he was downloading child porn .
Her conclusion therefore is that if the collection of pornography come first followed by child molestation, then the two bear a rational relationship to each other, but if they occur in the reverse order there is no logical connection between them
