Not sure how CNN got this information, but
FactCheck.org says that she has been overturned just three times by the Supreme Court. Three of her appellate opinions have been overturned, which is 1.3 percent of all that she has written and 60 percent of those reviewed by the Supreme Court.
Normally, the Supreme Court reverses a higher percentage of the cases it hears.
