The leading Judiciary Committee Republican is charging that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is "out of the mainstream" of legal thinking and has a very activist judicial profile.
Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama made the assertion just hours before Sotomayor, who would be the third woman to join the court, was to face her initial confirmation hearing.

I know, but the Hispanic population who vote will
be very sensitive about anything derogatory regarding
her ethnicity ... it is what it is.

The pubbies have to tread very gingerly Respectfully disagree. She deserves a full and fair hearing but this is SCOTUS and the GOP's role is to give her enough rope to hang herself -- which I think is entirely possible given her radical views. Polls show less than 50% support her rulings and Obama is falling like a rock.

But her story is so compelling.
She graduated with honors
and her story is so compelling.
She was affirmative action product her entrance test scores weren't so hot, but her story is so compelling.
She's faced prejudice, being Hispanic, catholic woman.
and her story is so compelling.
Did I mention her story is compelling......
EVERYONE has a story.
I'd sure like to see her record..Can she stand on it alone?

LOL..that is the ‘catch phrase’ isn’t it. It’s just so compelling. What is so compelling about a woman becoming a judge anyway? I don’t get it.
