It seems more Republicans are backing away from partisan politics.
"She has proven herself to be a well-qualified jurist," Missouri senator Christopher S. Bond said. "The country is tired of partisanship of infecting every debate."

There's no way that someone who's had 70% of their rulings overturned by the higher court is qualified to sit on that higher court...it's like hiring a person who gets 70% of math problems wrong as a math teacher.

She couldn't even make a good weatherman with those percentages......... I can't think of anything she would be thought of as good at with those lousy percentages.

Why isn't it be called partisan politics when Democrats are willing to vote for someone that is obviously unqualified just because the head guy who isn't qualified either, has picked her merely because of her race and sex(obviously just to score votes)? Pathetic!

I actually heard a hispanic guy talking to other hispanic guys about how proud he was that there might be a hispanic on the court, that was until he found out she had Puerto Rican heritage rather than Mexican. This bullshit historical crap, brought to light with Oassman's election, is ridiculous.

Of course it's partisan politics, it's the same thing the dems did to Clarence Thomas. OF course somehow that wasn't racist, but Sotomayor is. Go figure

The republicans want a conservative and the dems want a liberal. HELLO!!!

They probably just don't to be labled as racist, which is what the ones that vote no will be called.
