The Case Against Sotomayor

[Mr. Morden]

I guess having someone like Jeff Sessions leading the charge against a Hispanic woman will do wonders for GOP's image among women and minorities.
I mean, what's not to love about this guy?

Why did Sessions get it over Hatch when the latter has more seniority?

[Mr. Morden]

How about Judge Reinhardt?

Of the 9th circus?

I assume this is a joke. He is considered on of the most liberal justice on the court of appeals. Not to mention he has one of the worst records in terms of reversals by the SC.

Isn't he an old anyway?

Yes, 9 years older than Souter. To give you an idea how old he is, he has been in the Ninth Circuit seat since it was created.

True, but what about Judge Reinhold?  He's only 51, and has ample police experience from his exploits with Axel Foley.
