Right, Davey. It went from worst to absolute worst.

Beyond the obvious lack of respect for the law (bias shown at so many different venues in remarks by Sotomayor), she will be on the bench at least another 20 years more than Souter.....allowing many years of biased agenda-driven decisions, and prolonging the time until we get a Court that actually STICKS STRICTLY TO THE ACTUAL WORDS IN THE U.S. Constitution, instead of trying to re-write it and make it a “Living Document” (aka, changing to fit their agenda and appease the Liberals).

Soto's biggest impact will be to cook huevos rancheros for the other Justices.

I am heartened by one thing. It’s pretty obvious she won’t be very persuasive with her race-based jurisprudence. SCOTUS hasn’t been impressed with her reasoning in reversing her opinions. I can’t imagine her persuading Kennedy (the swing vote) of jack squat.

She’s an ethno-centric race-obsessed liberal jurist who has little use for the actual words of the Constitution and who is going to use foreign law or her ethnic world view to decide cases. That’s what passes for liberal jurisprudence these days.

Unpersuasive. Hopefully her continued poor legal reasoning may convince some folks of the folly of putting liberals on a court who don’t respect plain language and claim that the Constitution can “breathe”.

80% of Sotomayor’s decisions which reached the Supreme Court were overturned - she is clearly biased against white males, and wants to substitute her own feelings and values for the written law - she will be so far out of the accepted and reasonable standards of legal argument and procedure that she will become essentially a pariah on the Court and will have very little influence on the rest of the Supremes...sorry, David.....

[tflabo]

That a dreck judge Sotomayor gets to be appointed to the SCOTUS and a brilliant constitutionalist like Bork gets rejected is a travesty of liberal incompetence.

Certainly, there is a world of difference in personality between the taciturn New Englander who recently retired and the feisty New Yorker who will replace him. Souter was well-liked by his colleagues, but there is little evidence that he tried hard to influence them.

What? I've been reading and hearing for years that Souter was pivotal to bringing swing-vote Anthony Kennedy over to the liberal side on any number of important issues. Meanwhile, Sotomayer does not have a reputation for legal scholarship or erudition - she seems much less likely to persuade Kennedy or anyone else about the merits of a case. If anything, replacing Souter with Sotomayer looks like a win for conservatives.

Graham is an idiot. Sotomeyor for Souter was an uneven trade: She’s young, he was old. It tilts the balance in the future.

[Lancey Howard]

The only problem with Broder’s theory is that Sotomayor is an intellectual lightweight who also has a reputation for being obnoxious. It is more likely she will have the other members of the court rolling their eyes than changing their minds.

We traded a liberal who discriminates out of guilt for one who discriminates for enjoyment.
