Uses the same polemics to criticize Sotomayor as Senate Republicans. Is this the best anyone can come up with? This isn't a very original piece, and it doesn't address any issues of jurisprudence with much depth.
Faced with Sotomayor's impeccable judicial record, it seems the judge's opponents can only exaggerate contradictions between what she tells the committee and remarks from her speeches. Is it not a good thing that Sotomayor is candid about her personal biases?
The journalism covers the essential points on the Republican position. It comes down to: will ours be a race based society or a performance based society? Equal results or equal opportunity? Skin color and national origin or performance?
