It was stupid for Republcians to vote against Sotomayor. They gained nothing and lost everything.

Actually, the Republicans who voted against her maintained their integrity, and can defend looking at actual qualifications of a jurist as the basis for an appointment to the Supreme Court. Going forward, their success will be based on whether or not people will be willing to trust them. Since the One is proving to be so obviously duplicitous, and that stain will spread to the Democratic controlled Congress which has mostly supported him, I think that anytime someone actually stands on principle to guide their votes, they will do better in the long run.
