Let's filibuster this racist bitch! Who cares if she's qualified, the Dems set the precedent with their childish attempt to block Alito's confirmation.
Also, anyone who refuses to not confirm Sotomayor because she's a Hispanic is a coward. Were Hispanics upset when Democrats tried to hold up Alberto Gonzales? Did blacks take umbrage when the Democrats (predictably) tried to reject the first conservative black Supreme Court Justice? There's a lot of things Hispanics care about, having one seat on the Supreme Court isn't one of them.
Filibuster for the sake of it, or because you actually believe you have the votes to block cloture?
