1. Sonia Sotomayor has a compelling life story.

2. [insert heartwarming details here]

3. Therefore, give her a lifetime appointment to the most powerful court in the land.

Did I miss any details?

Vote to confirm/support her or become a known racist.

***Did I miss any details?****

No! I think you pretty much covered it.

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Excellent. Your suggestion is now #4 on the blog post.

5. “We WON!”

She opposes individual gun ownership.

[devere]

The real argument:
If you don’t confirm her, Obama will name someone much worse.

[cranked]

Yes, you missed two things: She was already a done deal and the hearings are nothing more than a further White House smoke and mirror distraction from their real agendas (i.e: his meeting today with big Union officials, etc., etc.).

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Thanks, but I was thinking more of the public case for her confirmation. Your suggestions, while they might be realistic, would be hard to support with quotes and soundbites.

[cranked]

Understood.

[Dysart]

It is an honor, and I approve of your enhancement there... sadly I don’t see this going any other way than her favor.
