We're about to have a Supreme Court Justice who can barely write
That's all right, we used to have a President who could barely speak...
Seriously, the time to be concerned about this was last November, Democratic administrations nominate liberal judges... Republican administrations nominate conservative judges (with the exception of David Souter... where did he come from?).
Bush got Roberts and Alito, and to the left, they look about as appealing as Sotomayor...
When the Democrats hold the White House and 60 votes in the Senate what do you expect? Republicans are in disarray, and could not mount an effective opposition if they wanted to, and if they do, they look petty and vindictive.
Face it folks, the American voters gave the Democrats a clear mandate in November... how can you blame them for taking the newfound power for a "spin".
Who were you expecting Obama to nominate... Robert Bork again?
I am no fan of her policies, but as far as Sotomayor's writing ability, I find nothing wrong with it. Plus, she was an editor of the Yale Law Journal. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get into Yale Law... and then to make the Law Journal? It is not a charm school.
By the way, better get used to the idea of Obama justices... John Paul Stevens is almost 90...
