CNN, Fox News, MSNBC misrepresent Sotomayor remark on role of appeals court justices

SUMMARY: CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC all took a comment Judge Sonia Sotomayor made on the role of the circuit court during a 2005 forum out of context. The context makes clear that Sotomayor was actually explaining the difference between district and appeals court justices, not claiming that she "believes court of appeals justices should make policy."
