re: #170 Charles

I’m not supporting Sotomayor, by the way. But I’m not ready to hate her immediately either, just because the GOP has put out a list of cherry-picked talking points that are being dutifully spread by the usual partisan blogs and news sources.

Anyone remember that old 48-hour rule we used to have? Whatever happened to that?

Yep, in the end I expect to turn out to be another liberal judge I’m not going to agree with most of the time. That said I”m not going to jump on the “get Sotomayer - she the debbil!” bandwagon either. I think she’s going to fly through the senate, and the Republican party is going to froth a lot about race (as can be seen already in this and prev. comment threads) and be distracted from the other crap that’s flying through congress right now.
