Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation hearing is about to begin and everyone's watching to see if she crashes and burns. It's kind of like a NASCAR race, it's only interesting if someone screws up. Obama has skillfully picked Sotomayor knowing that her race and gender would make her harder to attack. You can watch for yourself here. The Republicans have been pushing the Latinos away and they have to tread carefully with how far they push Sonia Sotomayor. She's looking to a get very strong majority in the Senate if she doesn't trip up in the Hearing. If the Senate doesn't like the answers she gives to the Committee then she could find herself barely squeaking by.
I have no position with how the Senate votes on Sonia Sotomayor yet because I think that will largely depend on how Sotomayor does in her hearings. Let's see how she does.
