Duh...considering the number of high schools in this country. Not to mention, Ivy League schools do examine more than academic performance. However, Sotomayor wasn’t lacking in that department.
You seem to be admitting you made a stupid comment. Thanks. And I agree.

Are you trying to act as though your father was the norm?
He wasn't alone. One of his colleagues, who held the exact same job as my father, was black.
I can tell you more stories about minorities who went to college and had successful careers before affirmative action.
You also don't understand one negative side affect of affirmative action. After it took effect, minorities who went to top colleges, often found people questioning their success. Some even were rude and crude enough blurt out such things as "You only got into College X because you were a minority."
Often non-minorities who were qualified to attend Ivy League schools were often pushed aside because a college felt pressured to have X number of minorities.
And, given Sonia Sotomayor's age, she was a beneficiary of affirmative action.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor said she is concerned the Supreme Court is going out of its way to help the Trump administration.
The high court voted along ideological lines on Friday to grant the Trump administration's demand for an emergency request to stay an injunction in an Illinois case regarding the restriction of low-income immigrants from entering the United States. Sotomayor wrote in an opinion that her conservative colleagues on the Supreme Court, who have the majority, are “putting a thumb on the scale in favor of” the Trump administration.
“It is hard to say what is more troubling,” Sotomayor wrote on Friday. “That the government would seek this extraordinary relief seemingly as a matter of course, or that the Court would grant it.”
...
Sotomayor, an Obama appointee, criticized what she described as a troubling pattern of the conservative justices ruling in favor of the Trump administration without looking at these cases in an objective manner.
NEWSFLASH: We voted for this. It is absolutely fair.
The courts aren't supposed to be ideologically driven. Ideology is not justice, it's partisan hackery.
Still waiting for your answer. Where did you attend school for your first and second degrees?
She was valedictorian at her high school. What were you? Were you even in the top 10 percent? 20 percent?
To be honest I have met many Engineering grades that can't balance a checkbook or pay their bills on time. A degree isn't always the best measure.
In Sotomayor's case, I am no lawyer and I am unqualified to second guess her qualifications. She is pretty much bias to the left, she makes no attempts to hide that fact. Compared to the other SCOTUSs I don't know her level of experience compared to her peers. She may very well be the mouth breather in the group of elite judges. I disagree with RBG's politics but absolutely respect her as a SCOTUS.

Since when is upholding a federal law (immigration regarding public charge) that pre-dates the Trump Admin by over a century "putting a thumb on the scale in favor of the Trump administration?"

Ms. Sotomayor.... it's not your job to comment on this. Elections have consequences.
