Republicans would be foolish to fight the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court because she is the most conservative choice that President Obama could have made.
Yay!

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.

On my way to bed, stumbled on this

OT, but I've had enough today!
The groundwork for a conservative Obama pick
Fight Obama on a center right candidate and maybe, just maybe Obama will pick a really conservative nominee next time.
Only tyrants rig elections.
Heh
You know a much more conservative pick will be next. All in the name of bipartisanship...
I'm thinking it might be a long time
before Ginsburg and Stevens give up their unabashedly liberal seats for fear Obama will replace them with conservatives.
Switching out Souter for Sotomayor may be more or less a wash, but when it's time to replace the two liberal justices, disappointment will hang over the country like funeral bunting.
Yeah but
Honestly, how many more years can Stevens hang on?

I don't know what Dionne is talking about
but what gives me pause about Sotomayor is the fact that she lives paycheck to paycheck. She certainly is the first justice in a while that is not a millionaire. My deduction is that she is either dumb as a rock, or she is a ‘pure jurist’, ruling on what she sees any particular law to be, and we’ve certainly had some rightwing laws passed in the last thirty. Of course, she now gets to be the final arbiter, but she did speak of the founding fathers; check out starting at 3:30:
