Listening to Sotomayor, it's easy to forget that her hearing is political.
Don't have anything especially insightful to add after listening to Sotomayor's confirmation, except that this woman's brain is an encyclopedia. While of course she's limited in what she can say, her responses to questions make the posturing of the senators sound especially vapid. Makes you forget the various political issues surrounding her nomination.
Affirmative action judge my ass.
