I saw Campbell Brown interviewing Robert Bork the othe night. I've always thought he was his own worst enemy in his hearings. All he had to do ,imo, was 2 things. First, shave off that silly ass satanic beard. Two, be polite answer the quesitons politely and not get into legal debate with the senators. He stood on his principles and fell on his sword. He regretted to Brown his performance when he had his chance. (ps. he looks old and tired now. I wonder what it's like to become a verb
)
Sotomayor's doing what she has to do to avoid controversy and get'er done.
As Bill Clinton famously said "You gotta get elected, baby" In this case, she's gotta be confirmed, baby. Where she goes once on the bench is anyone's guess.
Eisenhower lived to regret appointing Earl Warren. I'm sure Reagan thought Sandra O'Connor would be more conservative than she turned out to be. Souter sure didn't turn out the way Bush 41 thought he would.
