Obama's Supreme Court nominee: it's Sonia Sotomayor. And here is what you can look forward to: "A cottage industry-literally an industry, given the sums of money raised and spent-now exists in which the far left and right either brutalize or lionize the President's nominees. Because the absence of controversy means bankruptcy, it has to be invented by both sides, whatever the cost to the nominee personally and to the integrity of the judiciary nationally."
The sad and simple truth is that the attacks on Judge Sotomayor, as with any putative nominee, is fill-in-the-blank cookbook invective for the Christian soldiers who see no alternative but to fight the Good fight.
Sigh and sit back.
"are," not "is," sorry, early, and I was blinded by my white pants.
It's after Memorial Day - you don't need to wear pants.
Bork approves!
15 more minutes of fart jokes in the confirmation hearings.
The sad truth, similar to what the article states (exactly states) is that she is getting confirmed no matter what. So you can forget about any meaningful "debate". It is just going to be invective from the right and self-righteousness from the left. In any case, she'll be a good balance for the court
Sonia from the Bronx v. Tony from Queens. Puerto Rican v. Italian, duking it out in chambers. Would love to be a fly on the wall for those fights!
Well, I hope Tony remembers to Vaseline his face, 'cause you know how them Puerto Rican girls fight.
The Alito dog-and-pony show will provide a nice template for the next few weeks.
