SCOTUSblog: "It's Over" (Sotomayor will be confirmed)

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

It’s Over

Basically before it ever started, the fight over the confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor is done. She is going to be confirmed by a relatively wide margin and without a substantial, mainstream assault on her credentials or suitability for the bench.

1. Too bad. We need a vigorous debate before her confirmation.

Let her answer her critics.

4. Good.

I want to hear her smack the Republicans down.

3. The confirmation hearings are where the questions are properly asked, no?

She can answer her legitimate critics there.

5. Too optimistic

I disagree with the bit that Sotomayor hasn't faced a "substantial" mainstream assault. The media continues to repeat right-wing talking points stripping her words from their context.
