OBAMA SCOTUS CHOICE–Woman: Check. Hispanic: Check. Originalist: Not Even Close

President Obama said today that Sonia Sotomayor was named by the G-4-1. Indeed she was. Here’s why: a political deal between R’s and D’s. Read more here.
Here’s another observation early in the choice: Let’s get over picking someone because they’re a minority or woman. I think there are alot of folks out there who voted for Obama because he would be a historic choice. Well, it was, but not for the reason they’re thinking. He’s the most left leaning President we’ve had since Wilson and FDR. Please judge people by the content of their character, their previous judicial decisions (for judges), and her judicial temperament. What does she think of the US Constitution? Is it malleable, a “living” document, or does it represent the bumpers between which our social compacts exists? I vote for the latter. She’s for the former (see below). She went to private school. Wonder if she’s for school choice?
