Just a few thoughts I wanted to get out there:
1. Sonia Sotomayor is extremely well qualified to be a member of SCOTUS.
2. POTUS is entitled to nominate, and expect confirmation of, all but unqualified individuals to any federal court.
3. Any Republican opposed to Sotomayor’s nomination is a fool.
4. Any Democrat who complains about Republicans opposing Sotomayor, who remained silent during the sabotage Miguel Estrada, is a disgrace.
5. The current problem took root in 1987, although the argument can be made that pre-1987 practices of both parties showed signs of what was to come.
6. In the politicization of the judicial nomination and confirmation process lay the seeds of what will lead to the disintegration of what was once a great form of government.
7. Anyone who believes that Sonia Sotomayor is more qualified to be a member of POTUS than Robert Bork is a fool.
8. Within (6) and (7) are the reasons why I can’t stand politics anymore, and why I recently abandoned, once again, the GOP in favor of the Libertarian Party.
