re: #443 MTF
Charles, I have no opinion one way or the other as to Judge Sotomayor’s judicial qualifications, but I do not agree with your characterization of the linked VC post. It most certainly does not lead one to conclude that “in many ways” she is a stronger candidate than Judge Altio was for the Court.
I wrote that because in many (not all) of the metrics cited by Posner, Sotomayor comes out ahead of Alito.
