Did anyone think that Republicans would welcome her with open arms ?
It doesn't matter who Obama nominated to replace Souter on the USSC: Conservatives would be circulating a list of ten reasons why that person was unacceptable within an hour of the announcement. In fairness, Obama's record in making high-profile nominations hasn't been as sterling as it could've been, and I hope Sotomayor doesn't have any embarrassing unpaid tax issues lurking in the background. At any rate, the Senate Repubs will drag her through a knothole and if she survives that, she should be an adequate associate justice.
