Brief thoughts on Judge Sotomayor.

My legal analyst is Feddie Dillard, and when he talks, I listen.

Take a listen here.

I'll only add that there's a critical difference between picking your fights and picking a fight. By all measures, the judge is qualified, is replacing a fairly reliable liberal vote and is the best possible candidate under the circumstances. Add to this a decent record on religious liberty issues.

Oh, and her "infamous" quote appears to be lacking crucial context.

So, in other words, fighting Judge Sotomayor is fighting the wrong nominee, in the wrong place, and at the wrong time.

Other than that, fix bayonets and charge, lads.
