gshSince I'm totally tired of the "does the bf sleep on the couch if the gf answers the question "do you need cake" with a "no"", I'll vent at hypocritical right wingers.
Two of the most common arguments against Sotomayer are:
1) She's an activist, who won't simply rule on the basis of the law as written, and
2) She didn't overturn Title VII in favor of the Connecticut firefighters.
The point that these are in direct conflict seems to be beyond their pointy little heads, like Krauthammer.

I suspect if Obama put forth a Scalia clone, they'd find some reason to rail against the person.
