So the big debate among the Republican weenies is whether to oppose actively Judge Sotomayor, or whether to roll over the give the Dems what they want so we can point fingers later and say, "See, I told you so." Makes me want to revoke every vote I've ever given to a Republican senator (both current Georgia senators especially). Where's the leadership here? How little risk are these people willing to take? What's it gonna take, nominating Osama Bin Laden himself, before the Reflubs decide they might have some responsibility? We have twenty years of Souter's liberal voting record as a result of a failure to properly vet a nominee, and now they want to continue the tradition? And why? Because we can't stand to lose a few Hispanic votes, that's why.
Is Sotomayor's confirmation a done deal? Probably, but not certainly, especially with her anti-gun stance, her anti-white-male stance, and her poor approval ratings from fellow judges and attorneys who have argued before her. But it is a done deal if we just roll over and let her be confirmed. And than it emboldens the administration for the nomination of another, even more liberal judge next time. How hard is this stuff? Does nobody else see it?
