Rich had it right on Sotomayor’s pseudo-tormentors

July 19th · No Comments · Uncategorized

The New York Times Frank Rich:
“…we spent the week learning every last footnote about Sotomayor while acres of press coverage shed scant light on the shoddy records of those judging her.”
Rich was the best I read on last week’s Senate Judiciary Committee inquisition of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.
But then, I must confess to having read very little. As he noted, I was like many of you:
“The public got the point anyway about this dying order and its tired racial and culture wars. With Sotomayor’s fate never in doubt, it changed the channel.”
I recommend his essay for its assessment of  who’s really “got some ’splainin’ to do.”
There’s also Maureen Dowd’s.

I highly recommend his piece for its assessment of  who’s really “got some ’splainin’ to do.”
