Sotomayor
came out of the Judiciary Committee with only one Republican (Specter now a Democrat) vote. The fact the likes of Sen. Grassley find her unsuitable underlines how ridiculous that party has become. Four lower court judges also were let through by voice vote. [More
here, including as to better questions.] The transcript of
the 911 call only underlines the confusion in the Gates incident; still the arrest
was stupid.
Racist or not, still teachable!
