If she does get confirmed, she will be the reliable meat head vote and nothing more. Souter = Sotomayor. I’m getting some interesting mental pictures of Roberts correcting her grammar in his dissents.

Sotomayer: I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasnt lived that life.
LOL. Now THAT is the quote of the day. Sotomayor is soooo objective and concerned with the rule of law and the Constitution./s

"the new undergound ID card market will be for white males looking to change their name to something hispanic-sounding to be even considered for a job."
I've always wondered about this whole hispanic thing to begin with. I mean, most hispanics derive their heritage from Spainards (unless they have the indigenous blood in them like Inca Indians). Isn't that about as white, western European as you can get? If Geraldo Rivera's name was Joe Smith, would anyone think he was "Hispanic" and therefore a minority?

Hmmm... I read it, and as an opening salvo it’s pretty weak. No substantive Sotomayor opinions or analysis on ‘em, and the sources are all anonymous.
Maybe with the announcement today people can start digging deeper. I hope so. We need more than “she’s liberal” in order for it to get momentum outside of the Senate minority.

Krauthammer is on Fox right now telling another great American story - the firemen in New York - the reverse discrimination case that Sotomayor dismissed and is now before the Supreme Court. The one fireman spent $1,000 on books, studied 10-11 hours a day and had to hire a reader as he is dyslexic. This man scored at the top, but the results were thrown out and no one was promoted because no African Americans scored in the top tier on the test.
As usual, Krauthammer nails it.

Perhaps Fred does know something...I loved when Charles K. told Bill about the fireman’s story.

If she really is a diabetic unpersuasive Catholic, then this may be the “briar patch” we hoped for.

We actually dodged a bullet here. Sotomayor may actually be an improvement over the bathroom trolling deviant that she is replacing.
I was particularly concerned that we might have got Kagan.
Sotomayor is older, diabetic and not nearly as bad ideologically as Kagan.
The GOP should just take this one. Kagan is Far Far worse.

*O* said he mad e this decision by deep reflection. How many rounds of golf is “deep reflection”?

--
Here's an idea, a Senator asks her during confirmation hearing where she stands on the Heller case, whether it is now settled law. --
The test I'd like to have administered is to report a summary of the Miller case. If a judge can't do basic case analysis, and this is an easy case, then they have no business being appointed to the bench. Oh, 9 of 9 sitting SCOTUS judges flunk this test.
