Face it, in politicising that Court we've resigned ourselves to nominating folks the character of which is similar to the Congress. From both parties. And precluded capable judges for the same reasons.

She'll be another political hack in the same mode as Ginsburg or Souter. No surprises here.

Souter was what started the damnation of conservatism. Sunnu should be drilled for that one as should GHWB (among most of the judges he picked).

BHO picked this lady because he wants to continue to polorize america for purposes that he knows the critisizing of a latina (?) is taboo when shes a liberal because the press has her cover. Imagine if roles were switched on recent "real" latino selections from the right who were drilled by Leahys henchmen. Or the mocking of Alitos selection as another "catholic" by the senator from NY. BTW, this lady (didn't she just win the British version of American Idol ?) is an alleged catholic, probably in the same way as Sebellus or Leahy or Kennedy, don't imagine that he will do that again.

For the members of the bench outside of the ACLU's ex lead atty (Ginsburg) most opinions are well thought out, whether I agree or disagree. Scalia and Breyer are extraordinary minds of differing opinions.
