But I also don't doubt that there will be no filibuster of Sotomayor. We also might disagree as to who qualifies as a "leading Republican". If you want to find vitriol from left leaning "leaders" you can find it, you just may disagree with who is considered a "leader". Anyone who makes a comment as inane and disgusting as "Sotomayor is an illegal immigrant" is leading nothing. I have no doubt that if given time, one could go back into archive.org and other archive to find comments reaching the same level of stupidity given the constant comparisons of anything related to Bush to hitler, nazis, racists, etc, etc. I can recall a certain celebrity singer amoung other individuals refer to African Americans within the White House as "house negros". The proof will be in the pudding. Will the confirmation vote be blocked for years on end as Obama and other Democrats did with Estrada, or the confirmation process be put to a vote? I don’t think you’ll find any trouble finding ugly comments if you look for them. But I also don’t doubt that there will be no filibuster of Sotomayor.

Or where someone said 'Estrada, like all speakers of Spanish, is an illegal immigrant'. Or where someone said 'I can't be bothered to pronounce Estrada's name correctly; he should really become more like a real American and pronounce his name like Anglos do.' These are very, very mild paraphrases of things that have already been said about Sotomayor by leading Republicans, and which have not been condemned by other leading Republicans. Good luck finding anything like that in the Estrada case- the closest you'll find is the allegation that Estrada was favored <i>by the Republican party</i> because of his race, which is a different beast (and something one could have a legitimate discussion about.)

All the fuss being made is about one statement (the "wise Latina" one) which was taken out of context. The fact of the matter is that she's a rather technocratic, by-the-rules judge, not particularly liberal, with a very extensive record in which she almost always agrees with the Republican-appointed judges she serves with. The Republicans turned on the attack machine before they knew anything about her. Martin, you read one or two articles and you’re wrong.

This is sort of a disclaimer since I only read one or two articles and it is possible that I'm wrong, anyway this is what I think. I don't think personal attacks on candidates for the supreme court of justice are rare at all. I expect a male candidate making statements any near the ones she made would be very close of not being eligible at all. Supreme Court appointments are for life. She is probably going to be elected so I don't think being respectful is more important than saying everything there is to say.

I won't spend my time elucidating those differences; they are fairly self-evident and well-documented elsewhere.
