As NYU School of Law Professor Kenji Yoshino noted when he declared his
support for
Sonia Sotomayor in The Nation‘s forum “Following Souter,”
President Obama’s nominee for Supreme Court Justice “is a judge’s
judge” who “would be a great successor to a great justice.” That has
not stopped the conservative pundits–never the
best judges of character or intelligence (eg: Bush, George W.)–from
attacking the eminently qualified Sotomayor. Media Matters has assembled
a collection of the right’s most unhinged race-baiting reactions to her nomination.
