Given that she was nominated by the demonstrably most idiotic president we’ve ever had, I had absolutely no respect for her.
However, she may have a bit more cojones (and undoubtedly more intelligence) than the DORK in chief.
Perhaps she’ll make a good justice after all.
It would be quite an irony if Sotomayor turned out to be Obama’s Earl Warren. Eisenhower appointed Warren thinking that he was appointing a rational jurist, only to find out that he had appointed an unprincipled left-wing tyrant with no respect for the law or the Constitution. Obama appointed Sotomayor thinking he was appointing an unprincipled left-wing tyrant. How ironic if it were to turn out that she actually respects the law and the Constitution.
