I think that if anyone on this website who supports that fat Horatio Sanz in a wig looking moron, had taken a few courses in constitutional law, or any law for that matter- they would be forced to either disclaim their support, or admit they were only supporting her because of her color, or because Obama appointed her.
Even the liberal justices I cant stand ideologically are qualified as competant and experienced jurists. Sotomayor is a horrible pick- not just based on comments regarding race and judicial activism, but because shes BAD JUDGE WHO DOESNT KNOW THE LAW.
What people need to realize is that the Supreme Court is a court of LAW. There are no trials, there are no witnesses, there is no evidence. The justices base their decisions on the case briefs, the procedural history of the case and the attorneys arguing before them on both sides. The fact that this woman may be somewhat biased in favor of minorities doesn't even bother me that much, because the LAW is the LAW. Judicial activism and lacking a basic command of the constitution is reason enough not to confirm her alone.
With that being said, shes going to be confirmed anyway. So fuck it. it doesn't really matter.
