Sotomayor Confirmed
68-31. If I were a hack, this is where I would be outraged that many Republicans would vote against a qualified nominee because somehow Supreme Court nominees will be entirely non-ideological as long as only the president considers ideology. (The content of Republican opposition to Sotomayor, of course, is another matter.) But since that stuff is nonsense, I’m perfectly pleased with the outcome. Hopefully she’ll be a good justice.
