Of those that were reversed most were 5-4 6-3 decisions (2 have yet to be taken up by the Court). Only one was reversed unanimously. That is a pretty good track record, IMO, and is not indicative of a judge who is practicing judicial activism. If she were, I would expect that the number of her rulings taken up by the S.Ct. to be much greater than 7, and her reversal to be much greater than 3.
LOL...I figured that would be your response. Let's see...

Let's say I'm an employee looking for a promotion to a senior position which requires me to review others. The CEO or our company tells me that I'm not being considered because three of the five times I was reviewed they found that my decisions were out of line and were overturned. My argument...Which you are using is that I had 300+ other decisions that were not scrutinized so the sum total of my errors were minimal. On top of that everyone in my department only has a 25% success rate so you should consider me for the job because I'm an exemplary candidate. That argument is laughable.

RIGHT!
