SOTOMAYOR: The vindication of Jeffrey Rosen? “The question is not whether Sotomayor will get through, but why the president felt so compelled to select her. If he was desperate to find a Latina, he should have found a wise one.”

(Via Randy Barnett, who comments: “When Rosen published his critique, I knew very little about Sotomayor. After forcing myself to watch much of the hearings, I wonder if those who criticized him then are having any second thoughts today.”)
