I’m very happy to see The New York Times opine on Sonia Sotomayor today:
Supreme Court nominees must be fully vetted on a wide range of issues, but most of the ones being raised about Sonia Sotomayor are not among them.
The first Hispanic nominee to the court is being called racist. She is being attacked as not smart enough, as too abrasive (a description often applied to women who speak their minds in public life). There have even been reports that critics have taken aim at her taste for Puerto Rican food.
It is time to elevate the discussion to where it belongs: the Constitution and the role of the judiciary.
