More on Judge Sotomayor

This AM I was asked if I had read someone's EMail to me the previous day and I replied that I hadn't and I had been hung up trying to do the table for last night's post on the nomination of Judge Sotomayor to the SCOTUS.♠  The response to me was something to the effect that it was probably another typical "Republican" lambasting of the lady.  Since I had actually said on the blog that I thought it was OK, pending the hearings, I felt that I had been stereotyped.  It was then suggested that maybe I am really just a Libertarian.

At any rate, Law Professor Ann Althouse had a post on the nomination and the first comment to the blog post was:

Her family obviously loved its children.  To be born and raised in that family, and to be educated in Roman Catholic schools, would have created in her soul a great respect for mercy, for children, for a womens great value, and for submission to legitimate authority.  The opposition forces to Sotomayor may turn out to be the Progressives who hate all of those character traits. Stay tuned.

Hat tip to Instapundit.

We need to first gather the facts on the nomination, then make the decision.  I still maintain that she does not represent the kind of diversity that we would get from someone who had graduated from a law school different from the few that producted the current set of Justices.

PS:  I have been told I have a number of "Non-Breaking Space" tags that are malformed (some combination that includes most of these characters—& n b s p ; and maybe something else).  If you note one, please EMail me at crk@theworld.com and tell me which post.
