I personally feel that Sotomayor is a very mediocre candidate and there is no reason that Republicans cannot vigorously oppose her on principle. Her gender and ethnicity should not be an issue, despite the fact that Obama's selection of her was an act of cynical political calculation. Aside from her politics, my big problem with her is the fact that she lacks substance. I would suggest that most people, regardless of their political beliefs, would have to agree that Roberts and Alito have substance. Bush made two great picks. Of course, Bush should be ashamed of himself for nominating Harriet Miers. If I recall correctly, there was a lot of opposition to that nomination on this thread.

I hope that the GOP can avoid the shrill rhetoric. It appears too partisan. Obama is fiercely partisan, yet most of the American people are convinced that he is bipartisan. Rhetoric and demeanor earn you style points, whether you deserve them or not.
