I find it so typical of the Republicans to automatically say they’ll fight this appointment when they had almost nothing but cooperation from the Democrats for Dubyah’s nominees. Well, except for Harriet Miers. I don’t know what Harry Reid was thinking…

Sonia Sotomayor’s spot on the Supreme Court will become an automatic Hispanic one for the rest of the 21st century, just as Clarence Thomas followed Thurgood Marshall in the black seat.

I hope President Obama doesn’t forget Asian-Americans the next time.

It could have been worse, I guess. At least Harriet Miers’s name wasn’t thrown into the ring again.
