But Sotomayor ruled due process completed

Ruling in such a case on Thursday the Supreme Court, in Williams v. Pennsylvania, correctly overturned the death sentence of a Pennsylvania death row inmate named Terrance Williams because of a glaring, due process-denying conflict. In 2014, Mr. Williams’s death sentence (for a brutal killing he committed at age 18) was upheld by members of Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court, including then-Chief Justice Ronald Castille — the same man who, as Philadelphia’s district attorney years earlier, approved and oversaw Mr. Williams’s prosecution and the state’s post-trial defense of the death verdict.
In the case of the fireman protesting affirmative action, she ruled due process must have been completed. She took it off the table, completely.  Did she bring it back, suddenly? Remember the Supremes over-ruled her, Is she now following law? or is Sotomayior just a biased judge

Alternatively, we can reverse her fireman ruling by noting the case was about affirmative action, and she affirmative actioned herself through law school.  That is a bias reaching unconstitutional levels, she now says.  The woman is lost, starting with bias and now mixed in a tangled legal web.
