Re: Coburn vs. Sotomayor

I still think she is a horrible choice for the SCOTUS. Her rulings so far have mostly been conservative with a few obvious exceptions. The problem as I see it is that if and when she makes it to the Supreme Court there won't be another court higher up to correct her bad decisions. Many judges will take into account that any decision they make might be appealed and would hate to be overturned too often and look foolish. However, this can't happen if is she affirmed here. She will be as free as she can be to be biased in her decisions, while giving us some double talk to make it seem unbiased. There's nothing we can do to stop her then.

We know where she stands on several subjects through her speeches and writings. Also, do we really think she would have been nominated if her positions on abortion, gun rights, property rights, energy, and the environment weren't in alignment with Obama's? Even though she's merely replacing another liberal judge she is another link in the chain.

Is it just me or is there something wrong with being able to label a judge as liberal or conservative anyway? Something doesn't sound right about that.
