I think Obama has made an excellent choice with his nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. What will be interesting is seeing how the Republicans position themselves in opposing her -- there are going to be some strange contortions as they try to avoid looking like anti-female, anti-Hispanic bigots, especially when their own President George HW Bush was the person who first nominated her to a federal judgeship, and she has twice gone through Senate confirmations. Good luck there, folks. Would you dare try to filibuster this nomination?
