Fellers, I cheated a little to save time and cobbled BOTH of your comments into one and 'smithed it a little........
In regards to the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, and also pointing to the fact that the current administration has put a known tax cheat in charge of the Treasury Department, it would serve to farther add that said nomination of Ms. Sotomayor is truly par for the course.
Based on past public information, Sonia Sotomayor is clearly a bigotted individual. Her racist commentary and support is undeniable.
With a 60% overturn rate, she has an unacceptably poor record of being upheld in the higher courts, highlighting her glaring legal deficiencies, and it should disqualify her from any consideration for such an important post.
I would most certainly lose all remaining faith in what currently passes for the Democratic party if Sonia Sotomayor's nomination makes it out of committee.
