I called Sotomayor a fool, not an intellectual lightweight.
You are the one confusing the terms.
he has no intellectual firepower, becasue he constantly sees things through his liberal and black glasses. He has done that consistently through his career.
We have documented exceptions to this rule three times on this thread, so your point is factually incorrect. You are making up your own "facts" to back up your opinion. The man is a liberal, but he is willing to learn from those he disagrees with, and modify his thinking based on what he learns.
