The judge

It is remarkable to me that the Republican case against Judge Sotomayor is that this Princeton Summa Cum Laude and former editor of the Yale Law Journal, Assistant District Attorney in New York, federal judge on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, Adjunct Professor at NYU Law School and guest lecturer at Columbia Law School, boils down to the idea that she was only nominated to the Supreme Court because she is an Hispanic woman, and that she is an intellectual lightweight. John Yoo, the Torture memo guy? Gimme a break!

Actually, that attitude by the GOP is not that remarkable to me. Their mendacity never fails.
