Obama Appointed Sotamajor To Be a Leftist Bully

Or at least, Obama was told by one of the most famous liberal lawyers that Sonia Sotamajor was not as smart as she thinks she is, and is something of a bully.

So by nominating a leftist ideologue whose primary talent is throwing he weight around, Obama has his enforcer in place.

Bluntly put, she’s not nearly as smart as she seems to think she is, and her reputation for being something of a bully could well make her liberal impulses backfire and simply add to the fire power of the Roberts/Alito/Scalia/Thomas wing of the Court on issues like those involved in the voting rights case argued last week and the Title VII case of the New Haven firefighters argued earlier, issues on which Kennedy will probably vote with Roberts despite Souter’s influence but on which I don’t regard Kennedy as a lost cause for the decade or so that he is likely to remain on the Court.
