So, Republicans are upset that Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor to replace David Souter on the Supreme Court. Why?

She was nominated to the U.S. District Court in New York by Republican George H. W. Bush and confirmed on unanimous consent of the Senate. Then, when she was nominated by Bill Clinton to be a U.S. Court of Appeals judge, 25 Republican senators voted to confirm her.

And back when Clinton nominated the ultra-liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Supreme Court, only 3 Republicans out of 44 in the Senate at the time voted against her.

The Republicans are a little late to be opposing Ms. Sotomayor.
Better late than never.
But let’s just we get the facts straight.

The fact is, she has an agenda and should not be on the court, and yes the repubs were late, as they usually are.
