On Sonia Sotomayor from a liberal perspective

[unusualmusic_lj_archive]

We all know that the rightwing is being racist trash. But I'd like to look at Ms. Sotomayor from a liberal perspective. And frankly, I am not pleased. She seems to be a moderate, and the last thing that Supreme Court needs a freaking moderate.


Consider the following links:

A revealing anecdote about Sonia Sotomayor

Obama's Anti-Roberts

Sotomayer on the abortion war

Sotomayor Sides With the Cops: And persuades a Republican judge to go along with her.


Like I said, she's a moderate, who seems to be about to tip the court way too far to the right than I am at all comfortable with.

Hey, I think her last-name is Sotomayor. "Sotomayer" sounds very... anglosaxon to me. XD :)
