Early this morning, I twitted that Obama tapped Sonia Sotomayor of the 2d Circuit for the Supreme Court. I may have been the first to twit it. I may not. It’s hard to say. As I’ve not been told that I’ve won a prize by the twitter gods, I don’t care.
So now the usual suspects do the things that usual suspects do.

From Wendy Long at the National Reviews Bench Memos:
Judge Sotomayor is a liberal judicial activist of the first order who thinks her own personal political agenda is more important that the law as written. She thinks that judges should dictate policy, and that one’s sex, race, and ethnicity ought to affect the decisions one renders from the bench.There you have it. Can we now go back to our regular show? Judge Sotomayor will be confirmed, as she should be, and the rest of the chest-thumping will be quickly filed for use when the next nominee is named. That’s the great part about fill-in-the-blanks opposition statements. They’re reusable!

Wait! I have one. (I hope it’s original.)
Judge Sotomayor is the judicial equivalent of creationist scientists who say the earth is 6,000 years old.
I’ll probably have some comment after I read one of her decisions pointed to with pride by her supporters, and with scorn by her, err, unsupporters. I know that’s a pretty shallow way to do an analysis, but that’ll probably put me well into the 99th percentile of folks who comment on the nomination. And I expect there’s some good company there.
The lawprofs are having a field day, both for and against. Cuz they have so much to say on the subject.
You mean the earth ISN’T 6,000 years old?
