Supreme Court Nominee Sotomayor

[brianwspencer]

I don't find it even remotely as troubling once the scare quotes are removed and the entire speech is read.

I do get that it's certainly asking a lot from some people to dig into things and find out what they're really about when there's such a ripe soundbite out there for the taking....but if you're interested -- it's here.

It has much more to do with being the kind of judge who will always strive for impartiality (and there is no evidence at ALL that she has failed in this regard. If this is really some sort of festering problem, there should be ample case evidence from her to prove it, right? No.....oh wait.), while refusing to deny where she came from and being honest and acknowledging that no judge will ever be 100% free from doing so.

Total something out of nothing, or at the very least something out of next to nothing...but this whole thing has to do with Obama, so color me less than surprised.

The hilarious thing is that I hope they torpedo her, because she's not even that liberal, from everything I've gathered in researching her. He could have gone far more liberal, and if this nomination fails, outside of the obvious benefit of solidifying a Republican minority even more, it will give him an opportunity to go even more liberal. I wouldn't mind.
