re: #541 Preposter S

She may not be a good choice, but the 80% number is bogus from what I’ve seen. It is little more than a smear. If you want to do some serious comparing, check out the Posner article. It looks like Diane Wood would make a stronger candidate for the SCOTUS than Sonia Sotomayor based on the metrics he used. I think Obama is making a mistake here, not choosing who appears to be the best of the group, regardless of ideology.
