You're nuts, Leland. I'm actually surprised you're jumping so completely on her bandwagon. You gave me a ray of hope the other day in your pointed observation about Ricardo's "irony".
She's a certifiable bigot who doesn't understand the role of the Judiciary. Period. She thinks it's where "policy is made," and reckons that a savvy Latina woman like her would automatically make better decisions than a white male just because, well, she's not white and she's not male. She will be a complete disaster on the court. Forget about case law or checks and balances, it's all about her opinion and life experience. Every day we become more a nation of persons and personalities, and less a nation of laws. She is the antithesis of a good judge, just by virtue of her notion that policy is *made* on the courts. This was never the intention of the judiciary in our constitutional republican form of government. She and Obama clearly *hate* that kind of government, and are out to *change* it. One a positive note, it will be entertaining to read the dissenting opinions rip her idiotic opinions to shreds--cold comfort for pain, so to speak. Unfortunately, sound reasoning will not be found in the majority opinion for many a moon on the Supreme Court. Even Souter accidentally once in a while made some sense, though in recent years he's gotten worse -- Sotomayor is making no pretense to either objectivity or judicial temperament. She's just like Obama, sounds nice, but has a big mean ugly chip on her shoulder, one that is not fair to keep lugging around, and will lead ultimately to disastrous policy being, yes, made on the Supreme Court. :( - Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of Leland F.
