It will not be a wedge between Republicans and Hispanics, any more than the Dems' tormenting of Thomas drove a wedge between the Blacks and Dems. And I don't believe the Repubs should do a character assassination of Sotomayer.

Sotomayer regards herself as a Latina, btw.

Sotomayer lives for identity politics, but isn't among the larger group under the umbrella of "Hispanic." I suspect that she won't necessarily be heralded by those who would prefer an appointee of their own background.

I don't think identity politics should enter into any decisions, but I'm not a Democrat.
