Sotomayor Might Not Be Bad
Conservatives say Judge Sotomayor is a liberal judicial activist, the apotheosis of identity politics, and intellectually shallow. And she supports, I suspect, upholding Roe v. Wade. But she also a) is a Catholic who, at the least, goes to church sometimes b) has ruled against pro-choice groups and c) has decided in favor of a key religious-liberty provision. That’s something. Like Brian Saint-Paul and Austen Ruse, as well as Richard Stith and Rick Garnett, I think she is the best choice by a Democratic president that social conservatives could hope for. Absent her being another Justice Byron “Whizzer” White of course.
