@173. Linguist:

What a wonderful world it would be if Sonia Sotomayor both understood the role of the judiciary and demonstrated an ability to perform it. However, she does not.

She’s a sharper legal mind than any of the current justices. Her legal opinions are quite sound. Continuing to denigrate this very accomplished judge as a racist or incompetent is bound to reflect poorly on the GOP when it becomes apparent that she has had a distinguished career and shows no sign of bias in her rulings. But go ahead and keep digging. Who am I to stop you?

Perhaps you can name someone who is better qualified for this appointment? I’m very curious how you would make such a determination.

Peace.
