While everyone in the media and even some progressives have been keen on getting 2nd Circuit Judge Sonia Sotomayor as the logical replacement for David Souter on the Supreme Court, I am not convinced that she is the best person for the job. Although she is female and is a minority, we should not be nominating someone that would have a proclivity for siding for business against legitimate government purposes time and time again.

In reviewing her career, she appears to be no more progressive than Souter. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE. We can NOT AFFORD a justice that can swing a vote as much as Kennedy, for instance. We need a consistently solid, progressive socialist on the court. In addition, we need a YOUNG justice, so we can guarantee half a century of court balance, until we are progressive enough to merge with the rest of the world in global jurisprudence.

I don't have any recommendations at this point, and I would rather not have to state any even if I did. But I DO know this: the Obama administration will have an UNPRECEDENTED, FILIBUSTER-PROOF SENATE to make his selection. In other words, there should be absolutely NO opposition to anyone President Obama selects. To that end, I don't see that Sotomayor is anything more than a smoke screen for Rahm Emmanuel and his team to vette out the TRUE judge. I have NO QUALMS WHATSOEVER that whomever is selected will DEFINITELY BE a very dynamic progressive socialist, perhaps even farther to the left, so that we can ensure that the third branch of government, the judiciary will remain firmly in our stead for decades.
