Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
EDITOR:
I have watched the confirmation hearings of Sonia Sotomayor and I have come with up four reasons she shouldn’t be confirmed.
X She is comprehensively opposed to the death penalty for convicted first degree murderers.
X 2 She supports giving voting rights to convicted murderers who are sill serving time in prison.
X She favors state hood for Puerto Rico which would increase the danger of America ceasing to be an exclusively English language country.
X She has been a member of La Raza, many of the leaders of which favor amnesty for illegal aliens and the return of the southwest United States to Mexico.
She will probably be confirmed and when she votes totally the wrong way on a specific issue of importance to the American people, don’t blame her, blame the senators who confirmed her.

When you put it that way, she sounds like a pretty good candidate.
Sotomayor is so much the antithesis of what a Supreme Court Justice should be that it would be laughable if it were not going to happen. The sad fact is, never mind her qualifications (or LACK thereof), this is purely the Democrats against the Republicans. The Dems hold the majority, and they intend to shove as much as they can down the throats of the Reps. Whether it's for the good of the country or not has absolutely no bearing whatever on Sotomayor's upcoming confirmation.
Kinda like what Bush did with Roberts and Alito.
We can't even get a good president, do you think we could really get a good judge?
