She will be confirmed based on her resume...and her ability not to cause a controversy during the hearings. When she actually takes the bench as a Supreme Court Justice, we probably won't hear that much about her because he record says she's neither as liberal and radical as Republicans are painting her or as moderate and even-handed as Democrats are painting her.

One justice retires and another fills the spot....Sotomayor is probably less liberal than her replacement, so the makeup of the court will not change nearly as much as it did with the Bush appointees. Republicans should be happy to break even, if not net a small gain in the political makeup of the court.
I wish though, she knew the difference between say eminent and imminent
( that might be important in her future position eh?)...or “province” and “providence” and oh, “store” of knowledge and “story” of knowledge....


Sure ses obfuscating AND whats mnore she has dissembled or completely overturned everything she said of any import asked of her ala the statements that she has made many times in the past. Shes gonna say what shes got to say or not, and do what shes got to do.

She sounds remarkably unconvincing imho.
