Sotomayor will be our next and newest Supreme Court Justice. Obama has not only nominated a woman, she is the first Latino ever nominated to the Court. And it puts the GOP, which would like to oppose her, in a real bind. They have been courting Latinos. Now they face the prospect of voting against a Latino and losing all that hard work recruiting Latino voters going down the drain. Even El Rushbo (the anal cyst) has raised the White Flag:
"
Should the Republican Party oppose Sonia Sotomayor?" and I will restate what I said in the first hour: Yes! Because opposing Sonia Sotomayor is how you tell the nation who Barack Obama is and isn't. That really what we're interested in having happen. Aren't we interested in having the American people figure out who it is they really voted for? Well, Sonia Sotomayor illustrates who Obama is, and that's the primary reason to oppose her because I don't think she can be stopped. She's got the votes in the Senate. So does Obama. It's a cliche, but elections have consequences.
In other words, all the Republicans can do is throw a hissy fit and throw themselves down on the carpet and beat their little fists and screech.
It will be interesting to see what kind of Justice she will be.
