I have to admit that I have never heard of Sotomayor before this nomination, so it would be unfair for me to "judge" her. But the Wall Street Journal, one of the only truly objective media outlets left, has it's doubts about her.
The 'Empathy' Nominee The Journal is about as objective as MSNBC.
She's alright I guess, though I think its strange how Scalia and Thomas both were presented as having "empathy" or that "Compassionate Conservatism" (a label which Dubya sorta stained)...:p
She'll get confirmed, I mean I think even more rational mature Republicans up on the Hill know this. The fireworks is to entertain the battle-hungry base.
The problem is that for any possible legit argument against her, that pool got pissed in with the Limbaugh and other such wingnuts calling her a racist or anti-American or whatever.
I mean take George Will. He at least gave a logical argument in bitchslapping Obama's own claim that she "saved baseball." I know its not much, but its a start.
