All I have found is her dissent in Hankins v Lyght. Not much for
Sekulow to hang his hat on there. I would think he would be glad for
her clear embrace of the ministerial exception, even if she doesn't
sound thrilled about the scope of RFRA as the majority framed it.
Hardly supports his claim, in my opinion.

The unanimous 10 commandments case Sekulow refers to is obviously
Summum--and that case by its very terms decided no Establishment

he possibly referring the Bronx Household of Prayer case (in either
the Court of Appeals or the District Court) ?.I don't think she sat
in the 2nd Circuits foray into Christmas observances in the public
schools.

Subject: ACLJ's Jay Sekulow Slams Judge Sonia Sotomayor on church
stateseparation
I thought members of this list might be interested in an interview
of the ACLJ's Jay Sekulow that ran on Fox News last Friday
discussing possible replacements for Justice Souter with much of
the time spent discussing Judge Sonia Sotomayor. Although Sekulow
never mentioned any specific opinion or statement from Judge
Sotomayor, he claimed that she is "much further to the left than
Justice Ginsburg or Justice Souter." Sekulow also referred to
winning a recent ten commandments case before the US Supreme Court
with a 9-0 vote and said he thinks the vote would have been 8-1 if
Judge Sotomayor were on the Court because she has a "very, very
strict view of church state separation."
You can find the full 7 minute interview on the Fox News website
at: http://tinyurl/JudgeSlam
Or, if you forgive the self-promotion, you can see the relevant
clips interspersed with critical commentary in my 4 minute 20
second YouTube video titled "Fox News Slams Judge Sonia Sotomayor
for Supreme Court?" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZXZAjtXJ5s
I thought it particularly appropriate to post my video to this list
because I actually provide a link to one of my previous posts to
this list in the video. See http://tinyurl.com/DishonestJay
My question for the members of this list:
Are there any specific opinions or statement from Judge Sotomayor
that back up Jay Sekulow's characterization of her as "much further
to the left than Justice Ginsburg or Justice Souter" or of her
having a "very, very strict view of church state separation?"
