I’ll be honest—I know little of Sotomayor and I don’t think we’re going to find out a whole lot on just the first day of her nomination. It’s going to take several weeks for a decent picture of her judicial career to come out.

As I disagree with Obama philosophically on many things, I am less inclined to believe that he will appoint someone who will uphold the law and seriously think through the cases. But I am attempting to withhold judgement until those with more experience and knowledge in the judiciary can summarize her time on the bench.
