Elections have consequences. One of the perks of the ruling party is to nominate and confirm Supreme Court Justices. George W. Bush and a Republican Senate placed Roberts and Alito on the Court. Obama and a Democrat Senate now will place Judge Sotomayor on the highest court. Obama won the election, the Democrats dominate the Senate, end of story. The Republicans can certainly question Judge Sotomayor on her rulings, leanings, etc. It is highly responsible to do so, but I hope they do not engage in character assassination or heightened attacks on minor issues. The debate should be: Is she qualified? If the answer is yes, then she should be confirmed. While from what I read leads me to believe I disagree with her political leanings, she does appear to have the credentials. I know this will upset many people on the conservative side, but this is how our system works. Opposition to Sotomayor should be based on legal rulings, not on personal politics. I know this is not how Obama voted while in the Senate, (he opposed Roberts and Alito on pure personal politics) but it is how a Senator should approach these nominations. Presidents nominate Supreme Court Justices. Senators confirm. That’s the Constitution. If people are upset at her nomination, then they should start electing like-minded people to the Presidency and Senate so it won’t happen in the future.
In the long run, this pick will do little to alter the shape of the court. Retiring Justice Souter is one of the liberal justices, so Sotomayor will not be shifting the court any direction, but just maintaining the status quo. As the first Hispanic and third woman ever to serve, she also has a very compelling life story which should be an inspiration to all, no matter one’s political viewpoint.
