Obama nominates Sonia Sotomayor for Supreme Court

That's been the problem with these appointments for the last 70 years.  They ARE politacal and it is no longer about the Law or the Constitutionality of the Law.

Try the last 232.Its always been about balancing between regions and either paying back political favors or neutralizing an opponent by putting them on the court. The only thing new is the visibility of race and gender, but its still the same game. Despite this, the court has done a pretty good job over the years.

He's already looking to 2012 and this just helps solidify voting blocks...IMO...

Personally, I don't care about her gender, race or politics.  I care about her ability willingness to not re-interpret the Constitution.

Fixed it!

Helpful, ain't I?

On the bright side, she's got diabetes and it's pretty apparent that she's not the picture of health. Maybe she'll have to step down during a more conservative administration, or maybe that choice will be made for her.

Sorry, didn't mean to be jerk. Its just my uncle and godfather, died of the disease, sans feet since they had to be amputated. His daughter, my goddaughter, suffers from it and has to wear an insulin pump. She's a good kid who teaches children with autism. She'll be lucky if she sees fifty.I just hate the damn disease and get a little touchy about it. Sorry.

Are their any attractive people on the left?  

Geez....

I know, shallow, but come on!  Can't we have one justice that looks like Cindy Crawford or maybe Laura Ingram?

I thought you were too old to care about that sort of thing.
