The Confirmation of Judge Sotomayor

Let's get a couple of things straight. I agree with Senator Lindsey Graham. As he voted for the President's nominee today he said that the judge was not someone who he would have chosen for the court. But the judge is qualified to be a member of the court both in terms of intellect and experience. She certainly will be an improvement over the man she replaced.

In recent days Senator Graham commented that the Senate is no longer a place to do confirmations but rather it has become a place to have partisan fights. Ultimately, by electing Obama as president, one would expect that nominees are different than would be nominated had McCain been nominated.

McCain tried to make a point about the horrible treatment that Miguel Estrada got at the hands of democrats in the Senate. But their absurd behavior should not be justification for getting back at Judge Sotomayor.
