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.”
