 In 2008 , Sotomayor was on a three @-@ judge panel in <unk> v. Niehoff that unanimously affirmed , in an opinion written by Second Circuit Judge Debra Livingston , the district court 's judgment that Lewis S. Mills High School did not violate the First Amendment rights of a student when it barred her from running for student government after she called the superintendent and other school officials " <unk> " in a blog post written while off @-@ campus that encouraged students to call an administrator and " piss her off more " . Judge Livingston held that the district judge did not abuse her discretion in holding that the student 's speech " <unk> create [ d ] a risk of substantial disruption within the school environment " , which is the precedent in the Second Circuit for when schools may regulate off @-@ campus speech . Although Sotomayor did not write this opinion , she has been criticized by some who disagree with it .
