But I find myself wondering in Sotomayor may prove to be a bit of a Souter except hitting the Ds. If she had early ambitions of getting to the supreme court she would have known that she most likely wasn't going to get there as a conservative after the treatment that Clarence Thomas and later, Miguel Estrada received. The D's get downright vicious when a minority dares to be conservative and then could be in line to get a powerful political or judicial position.
But I dont believe she is very 2nd amendment friendly; and the summary dismissal of the Ricci case -those are pretty concerning. But at least the conservatives seem to be doing a good job in the confirmation hearings of making the case of how judges should decide cases. I just hope none of the conservatives on the bench gets struck down before there is a conservative prez and a senate that will approve his nomination. The judges on both sides of the spectrum tend to pick their times to retire when they feel its safe that the new appointee will be of their bent.
