Also, Kagan and Wood show it IS possible to be worse than Souter and Ginsburg! They've both taken positions or decisions that h/b rejected even by the liberal US SC justices.

I'm not getting a sense of how strong these candidates are. Given that the next SCOTUS judge will be ultra liberal, conservatives should prefer the weaker candidate. Remember, the real reason that Robert Bork's nomination set off such a pitched battle was not merely that he was conservative, but that he was a powerful legal thinker who could sway others. Perhaps we should be grateful that Obama seems determined to limit himself to a Latina, instead of looking for the strongest candidate.

btw, what happened to Obama's promises of ushering in a post-racial era?
